FIVE siblings separated at birth Separated at birth, usually phrased as a question, is a light-hearted media device for pointing out people who are unrelated but bear a notable facial resemblance.

"Separated at Birth?" was a feature in the now defunct Spy Magazine, a monthly publication that published
 and adopted by different parents have met for the first time - and vowed to track down their real mum.

In an emotional reunion, the three sisters and two brothers saw each other after years of searching.

Now Marian Colfer, from Barntown, and Rita Miskella from New Ross New Ross may also refer to a village in the United States, New Ross, Indiana

New Ross (Irish: Ros Mhic Thriúin) is a small town in southwest County Wexford, Republic of Ireland, in the southeast of Ireland.
, both Wexford, Martin McGuirk, from Dublin, Stephen Agnew from Dundalk, Co Louth, and Collette Chambers, from Dublin, are determined to find their mum.

Rita told the Irish Daily Mirror yesterday: "It would be the last piece in the jigsaw. It would be just wonderful to know what happened to her."

What the siblings do know is that their mother was Kathleen or Catherine Doyle, who was born in Enniscorthy and lived in Ferns, Wexford.

Rita said: "We have found out she was an only child of James and Mary Doyle Mary Doyle (July 21 1931 - June 8,1995) was an American theatre actress who appeared on TV between TV credits from 1956 to 1982.

She was born in Lincoln, Nebraska and was the sister of the late TV actor David Doyle.
 and that her mother, whose maiden name was Fortune, died shortly after she was born.

"We have no idea why she gave all five of us up for adoption. We don't know what her story was and we need to find out."

Their mother was born on March 12, 1939, which means that if she is still alive, she is aged 70.

SHOCK

Rita added: "Even if we find a death certificate we will know about her. We all had happy lives and if we found her we could thank her, tell her she did a great job." It was only when Rita first began searching for her birth mother that she found out she had siblings.

She explained: "I hadn't known. I was in shock. It felt very strange to know I had brothers and sisters out there.

The siblings later discovered Collette, the baby of the bunch, was the only one with who had information of her brothers and sisters on her records.

And it was Collette who tracked them all down. And last Saturday night in Ballinaboola, Co Wexford, they came together for the first time.

The family is hoping that readers of the Irish Daily Mirror may have some information about their mother.

Rita added: "If anyone knows anything, all clues are welcome. If we could find our mother the next step would be to discover who our father was."
