		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?

Histories		William Henry Worster to Wooster William later changed his name to "Wooster" to disassociate from the sauce maker. William attended St John's Church of England school and also worked with his father on the Sydney to Granville railway line at aged 12, later as dobbin driver, and became a noted schoolmaster and an authority on astronomy, microscopy, and other studies that he lectured on. William lived on the estate of John Lackey clearing and helping supply billets for the railway engines. In 1861 he worked some years whip making, probably at Hodgson's factory along with his sister Susannah. He also spent two years studying for the ministry in the Church of Christ, but returned to teaching, and continued preaching for sixty years. William opened a free night school for children after becoming a public school teacher and lodged with Mr.Jas. Murray, teacher at the Parramatta Public School.
