====List of relatives==== Bertie Wooster has many relatives who appear or are mentioned in the stories. Three other possible relatives (Cuthbert and Julia Mannering-Phipps and their son Gussie) appear or are mentioned in "[[Extricating Young Gussie]]", though in this story Bertie's surname appears to be Mannering-Phipps. It is not shown in later stories if the three relatives are renamed Wooster. In his book ''Who's Who in Wodehouse'', Daniel Garrison suggests that the protagonist of "Extricating Young Gussie", Bertie Mannering-Phipps, is a prototype of the later Bertie Wooster.<ref>Garrison (1991), p. 111.</ref> Richard Usborne writes that Bertie Wooster does appear in "Extricating Young Gussie" though his last name is Mannering-Phipps in the story.<ref>Usborne (2003), p. 73.</ref> In the book ''Wodehouse in Woostershire'', it is suggested that Bertie's grandmother was married twice, first to a Mannering-Phipps and then to a Wooster with the title Lord Yaxley.<ref>Ring & Jaggard (1999), pp. 161β163, 275β276.</ref> Due to the uncertainty surrounding the Mannering-Phipps family, they are listed with asterisks below. Some marriages occur during the course of the stories. Bertie's uncle Lord Yaxley marries Maud Wilberforce as a result of the events of "[[Indian Summer of an Uncle]]",<ref>Ring & Jaggard (1999), pp. 278β279.</ref> and Bertie's aunt Agatha Gregson marries Lord Worplesdon sometime before the events of ''[[Joy in the Morning (Wodehouse novel)|Joy in the Morning]]''.<ref>Ring & Jaggard (1999), p. 296.</ref> Bertie Wooster's relatives include:<ref>Ring & Jaggard (1999), pp. 132β133, 275β276, 295β296.</ref> {{Columns-list| * Unnamed parents (deceased) * [[List of Jeeves characters#Mrs Scholfield|Mrs Scholfield]] (sister; no first name given) ** Three unnamed nieces * [[Dahlia Travers]] (aunt) ** [[Tom Travers]] (uncle by marriage) ** In the short story "Clustering Round Young Bingo" (1925) Tom Travers is presented as Bertie's uncle and Dahlia Travers as marrying into the family. ** [[Angela Travers]] (cousin) ** [[Bonzo Travers]] (cousin) ** George Travers (uncle) * [[Agatha Gregson]] (aunt) ** Spenser Gregson (uncle by marriage; deceased) ** [[List of Jeeves characters#Thomas Gregson|Thomas Gregson]] (cousin) ** [[Lord Worplesdon]] (uncle by marriage) ** [[Florence Craye]] (step-cousin) ** [[Edwin Craye]] (step-cousin) * [[George Wooster|George Wooster, Lord Yaxley]] (uncle) ** Maud Wilberforce Wooster, Lady Yaxley (aunt by marriage) * [[Henry Wooster]] (uncle; deceased) ** [[Emily Wooster]] (aunt by marriage) ** [[Claude and Eustace Wooster]] (twin cousins) ** Harold Wooster (cousin) * [[List of Jeeves characters#Uncle Willoughby|Uncle Willoughby]] (unknown surname) * Uncle James (unknown surname) * Cuthbert Mannering-Phipps (uncle; deceased)* ** Julia Mannering-Phipps (aunt by marriage)* }}
