By Simon Tomlinson Last updated at 12:46 PM on 30th December 2011 An adopted woman spent her whole life thinking she was an only child unaware she had nine siblings living minutes from her home. Susan Walton had always longed for a brother or sister to play with after being adopted when she was six months old. Now, at the age of 64, Susan has discovered she is the oldest of ten children who live a few miles away from her house in Hull, East Yorkshire. Reunited at last: Susan Walton (centre) with six of her nine newly discovered siblings (clockwise from left) Jacqueline Postill, Janet Brown, Brenda Newman, Michael Sexton, Julie Marrow and John Sexton at her home in Hull
