UPDATE UPDATE: Have now finished uploading the "J's" from the 1968 Electoral Roll.

26.8.11 - Thanks to Mark D'Alterio, we now have another electoral roll - 6 November 1968 - so why don't you check the updated names and see if you can add to them...in the meantime, WOULD ALL EX-RESIDENTS OF YALLOURN, WHO HAVEN'T ALREADY DONE SO, PLEASE COMPLETE THE "YALLOURN SURVEY" TO GET YOUR FAMILY NAME LINKED TO YOUR HOUSE IN YALLOURN AS A PERMANENT RECORD. A lot of the information so far is from Electoral Rolls only so does not include any children. IF YOU ARE HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE LINK TO THE SURVEY, PLEASE CONTACT julie@yallourn.org WHO WILL EMAIL IT TO YOU. Once "on the map" and authenticated, ex-residents can add photos, memories and stories themselves if they wish. THANKS....Julie

im looking for some information on Eilleen and William Sheilds. they were residents of yallourn. William was charged with murdering his wife Eilleenn in 1948. if anyone has more details to that story id really appreciate some input. my family bought one of the yallourn houses back in 1977-78 and moved it in 3 pieces to trafalgar. i feel there was alot of history captured in the house and would love to find the conection between the house and the Sheilds.
thank you.

I was born at the Yallourn Hospital 9th December, 1950, my mother was Shirley Eunice Lepp. I have been looking for my godparents Phillis & Bruce Machine or any of their children. They lived in Yallourn for many years. There were 4 children in the family and one in particular we use to call Tubby. I stayed with them a couple of times over school holidays and we went wandering down through the bush at the back of their home looking for yabbies.
