HAVE NEVER MET
TWO MEMBERS OF SAME FAMILY By Telegraph—Press Association WELLINGTON, August 27. “So far as I know my brother has never seen me and I have certainly never seen him to my conscious knowledge,” said Dr Alan Tennent, brother of Mr L. C. Tennent. who is referred to In a Melbourne message published to-day. This message said that Mr L. C. Tennent who was en route to New Zealand would be meeting his brother for the first time. Dr Tennent explained that the reason why they have not met is that he believes he (Alan) was not born when his brother, who is the eldest member of a family of five sons and three daughters, left for South Africa. Dr. Tennent is the youngest of the sons. Dr. Tennent, however, has met his brother’s wife, as she happened to be in England when he was there 11 years ago. Mr L. C Tennett has not been, back to New Zealand since he left Timaru, where the Tennent family was then living, to go to the Boer War. Mr L. C. Tennent was later joined in South Africa by two other brothers, Messrs H D. Tennent, now of Dunedin and H. C Tennent. now of Honolulu. The other brother is Mr K. B. Tennent, of Auckland.
