Wallasey sextuplets celebrate 25th birthday

Nov 19 2008 By Staff Reporter

WALLASEY'S Walton sextuplets celebrated their 25th birthday on Tuesday.

The sisters, the world's first surviving all-female sextuplets, were born at Liverpool's Oxford Street women's hospital in November 1983.

Parents Graham and Janet Walton were on their 13th attempt at fertility treatment when the six girls were conceived.

Their daughters Hannah, Luci, Ruth, Sarah, Kate and Jennifer marked their birthday with a family party at the house where they grew up in Wallasey.

Janet, 55, said: "Now my daughters are all 25, we are going to have a small get-together round at our house.

"We have had separate parties for the girls in the past to make them feel special but we have decided to celebrate this one altogether."
