Histories » Slide Show		John Bailey Wooster & Brother Timothy Wooster Steal a Chair Report of brothers John Bailey Wooster and Timothy Wooster stealing an old chair in Hobart, Tasmania. Seemingly a trivial case for which, nonetheless six witnesses were called. Who is the Joseph Worcester sentenced to a road party immediately after them?
		Honours for Timothy Wooster? - Mayor Not Impressed In 1854 it would appear that Timothy was put forward for Aldermanic honours, but the Mayor of Hobart was somewhat less than impressed!

There has been some doubt raised as to whether or not John and Amelia were actually the children of Mary and Timothy Wooster. Click here for a compilation of the research carried out by Ray.
