		William With his Microscope This photo was part of a collection owned by Charles Wooster (1847-1940). The two men corresponded and Charles repeatedly referred to William Henry Worster/Wooster as his "cousin". Was this just banter between two friends who happened to have similar/same surnames or is there a real connection here which we have thus far failed to spot?
