London: A 47-year-old man in Britain has reportedly been reunited with his sister after more than 35 years, all thanks to the Internet.
George Bentley of London got reunited with his 42-year -old sister Sarah Kemp, who now stays in Edinburgh, after they met via a dating website; she travelled to the British capital to meet him after exchanging emails for three months.
In fact, they only realised they were related while chatting about their childhood years over a pub dinner. They were born in Kent, but were separated when their mother and father split in 1975, the 'Daily Express' reported.
Sarah, who was six at the time, joined her mother in Edinburgh and George, 11, went to east London with his father. They tried to search for each other as adults but had no luck. George, a builder from East Ham, east London, did not know his sister had married and changed her name.
Sarah, a cleaner said: "Can you imagine the surprise, joy and embarrassment we both felt? It was such a crazy thing. We had so much in common and really enjoyed each other's company. It was as if we had known each other all our lives."
