David Alton recounted a story of Twins separated at birth who married before realising - http://today.reuters.com/news/articlenews.aspx?type=oddlyEnoughNews&storyid=2008-01-14T160420Z_01_EIC170379_RTRUKOC_0_US-TWINS-ODD.xml&WTmodLoc=NewsArt-R1-MostViewed-2 But has this story actually been corroborated by anyone else? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 222.154.238.36 (talk) 01:15, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The story has all the hallmarks of an urban myth. An unlikely story with a moral twist. The reteller has always been told the story by someone in the "know". But none of it ever seems to be provable. The most shocking aspect is the way the news media both newspapers and TV covered the story without qualifcation as though it was proven fact. (Goldmanuk (talk) 11:24, 18 January 2008 (UTC))[reply]

This story was in fact, recounted and confirmed by a high court judge, and is not an urban myth. 138.253.187.78 (talk) 17:20, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
