“I rented the house that William and Francis built, the school house that they also built still stands 3 doors up the road. Their house is now 320 Katoomba Street, Katoomba NSW and the School House is on the corner of Goyder Ave and Katoomba Street, the pink cottage.”
“I have photo evidence with William and Francis standing on the veranda with the sign saying Katoomba Grammar School. There is also an article in the 1902(?) Mountaineer newspaper talking about the School opening,
I believe it was the first School in the area.”

- From "Notes on the Life and the Descendants of Thomas Boorman" (as of 1950):
Muriel Cecilia Cleopatra Boorman married Mr. Wynne and had 1 son Shellshear Wynne. Muriel was a clever violinist, and may have taken it up professionally. Unfortunately she developed pulmonary tuberculosis which caused her death in about 1917 when her son was quite a small child. I do not know if or when her husband died. Shellshear was married and is divorced from his wife, and as far as I know has no children.
