Hi raa  :)

Do you have access to the database of Cambridge alumni that's available on the Ancestry website?  If not I could post some info here for you about both these men.  Have to say, though, that the only Oscar Browning I found was a student about 40 years before your fellow, but I think he became some kind of teaching staff member later on.

P.S.  The cover of the book in this link has a photo of Browning on it.  He was apparently a very well-loved master of History at Cambridge, and I think your rellie studied History by the looks of the alumni record.
