A CIVIC reception was recently held in the Mayor's Parlour to commemorate the visit of two American brothers, James and Gailen Braden, whose great-grandfather, Andrew Steven Reed, was Mayor of Tenby in 1857, while their great-great-grandfather, Thomas Kynaston, was owner of Caldey Island up until 1867. Also paying a visit to Tenby at the same time as the Bradens, was their cousin, Larry Bates, who before the trip had never met the two brothers.
