My maternal grandmother lived in this house until the early to mid 1970's. Her name was Violet May Sharman (called May). I also lived here for 3 months in 1969/70 with my mum, Thelma Collinson (nee Sharman) and brother Michael while our house was being built in Melbourne. It was a happy home and I have wonderful memories of my time spent in Yallourn over the years that Nana lived there. The Sharman family originated in Yallourn North. I'm not sure exactly when my grandmother moved to Yallourn. My grandfather, Richard Samuel (Syd) Sharman had already died by then, and my mum Thelma, her (older) brother Frank and (younger) sister Janet had already moved away. I think Nana moved into Maryvale Rd sometime around 1965.
