The children are Hannah, Lucy, Ruth, Sarah, Kate, and Jennifer. The children were born to Janet (née Leadbetter) and Graham Walton, who were married in 1976. They grew up in the family's seven-bedroom home in Wallasey, Merseyside. On 13 June 2011 the sextuplets were featured in the ITV1 programme Moving On.
