Internal notes
William 'Barbour' Thompson appears in the 1915 and 1920 NSW Medical Register. I suspect he is the same person as William Barber Thompson, the son of William Barber Thompson of the Olinda homestead. The Thompson family were prominent agriculturalists. Dr W. B. Thompson was highly involved in Horse Racing throughout the 1910s-1940s.
