      Information from Ian Giles
      ------------------------------------------
      Charles Wooster lived at 5 Lollard Street, Kennington. He knew all about horsesand had his business in th South West suburbs of London. He had about 50/60 horses and at one time had five grooms. Some of the horses were let out for state occasions.

      Charles and Emma went to Stoke Mandeville about 1910 with Jim Wooster. Jim went to Australia 1912. Charles and Emma lived in "Red House" Stoke Mandeville near the present hospital - probably leasehold. Because Charles had lost all his money when the "horseless carriage", ie the motor car came in during the early years of the century, that is his business had lost its value, and he was living in leasehold (maybe rented) accomodation with only his furniture to his name, he and Emma went to live with Nellie Hodgman (nee Wooster) and her husband Bert and their family. It appears that none of the other Wooster children offered them a home so they went and lived in Montana Road about 1914.

      Lilian Giles believes that Charles and Emma are buried at Chislehurst, Kent.

      Death Certificate of Charles Wooster
