Family Finders

When actress Jacqueline Clarke was still a young child, her mother revealed something that was to change her life forever - that she was adopted. It was never spoken about again but, after the death of her adoptive parents, Jacqueline began browsing the family registers for any trace of her birth mother. Drawing a blank, she turned to a professional genealogist for help, and before long the genealogist hit gold uncovering a sister, Sylvia, who had also been adopted as a young child. Now, after 70 years apart, the sisters are back in touch and today they're meeting up to visit the house where their mother lived and where they were both born. Sisters Tracy Kerrison and Theresa Horsler had a happy childhood growing up with their parents in Hounslow, London, but they were aware from a young age that they had an older half-sister, Leslie.
