Episode 9
Documentary series. A woman tries to track down the younger half-brother whose contact details she lost when her purse was stolen over 30 years ago.
Anne Ingles hasn't seen her younger brother John in over 50 years. The last time she saw him, he was a dashing young man with film star looks and plans to travel the world with the merchant navy. Now, with the help of a firm of family finders, she's managed to track him down. Brother and sister finally meet after five decades apart - and John fills Anne in on the details of his remarkably colourful life.
As a teenager, Geraldine Turner was almost like a mother to her half-brother Mark, who was 11 years younger than she was. And their relationship grew closer after both Mark's parents sadly died by the time he was 16. Not long afterwards, Mark enlisted for the army and ended up being posted abroad. At the same time, in a terrible stroke of bad luck, Geraldine lost Mark's contact details when her purse was stolen. Driven apart by events, the two siblings hadn't seen each other for over 30 years. Could the Salvation Army Family Tracing Unit rise to the challenge, and bring them together again after so long apart?
