"Mother of Two Learns Husband Really Brother Hereford, England (U.R) Two young orphans, who fell in love at first sight and were mar ried,' learned after the birth of their second son that they were brother and sister, the tearful mother said today. The story of the tragedy was told by - 24-year-old Marjorie Hughes, who separated five months ago from her husband brother Geoffrey Hughes: 23, a timber cutter, after an anony mous tipster told her of her true identity. The mixup began in 1934 when their mother died and the three sisters and three brothers were . sent to separate county homes. Marjorie, barely three years . old at the time, was adopted by a family named Stanham and was known from then on as Marjorie Stanham. They were married Sept 13, 1951, and had two children, Robert, 3, now in the Hereford Hospital with bronchitis, and Michael, who was born five months ago. It was at the time of Michael's birth an unknown women telephone and suggested they look at their birth certifi cates. "I know Marjorie had a terri ble shock when she saw the . names of the parents on both our birth certificates were the same," Geoffrey said. "She was deathly white and it was a ter rible upset to me." "It was horrible," Marjorie said in a separate interview. They separated then, Geoffrey returning to the home of his father who had since remarried, while legal experts studied the case. The couple has asked an annulment. . "It all happened because I gave the name Stanham, the only name I knew, on the mar riage certificate," Marjorie. said today between sobs. "The same morning we found out the truth iny husband and I parted." FREE! FREE! Uacuum Cleaner FOR INFORMATION Sewing Aids From Our Complete Notion Department I2m wmims ; Here that hum?
