Maureen Peggy (Peg) Loomes (born 1919) and her sister Jean Loomes (daughters of Maisie and Jim Loomes) were educated in the convent school in Wentworth, and the family lived at Tara. After Peg left school, she worked as a secretary to the Town Clerk in Wentworth, and joined the WAAF during the war, and worked at Victoria Barracks in Melbourne (with Milly Crozier).

Peg married Francis James Sheean (born 5/11/1917) in St. Francis Xavier’s church in Wentworth in 1945.The bridesmaids at the wedding were Milly and her sister Kath Crozier. Frank and Peg honeymooned in Tasmania and then moved into the family home in Coomealla on the fruit property in Bogga Billa Road. Frank and his father set it up as a soldier settler property after the war.

Frank's parents, Christopher Sheean and Elizabeth Ryan, had eight children - Edward, Thomas, Nancy, Violet, Audrey, Patricia, Frank, and Margaret. The second youngest, Thomas and his family moved from Birchip to a fruit property in Merbein in 1919, when Frank was two years old. The youngest, Edward Patrick (1908-1964) is buried, with his wife Mary Therese (1915-1980), in the Wentworth cemetery.

Frank served as a soldier in Egypt during the second world war.

Frank and Peg had five children: Michael Edward (died in 1966), Frances Kathleen, Sally Maree, Bernard James (died in 1963) and Timothy Bede. For more on Peg and Frank's descendants, see the Loomes family tree.

Peg died on 16th December 1977, aged 56, after a brain tumor was discovered four months earlier.

Frank and Margaret are the only two of Christopher and Elizabeth’s children alive in 2009. Margaret lives in Greensborough, and Frank is cared for by his two daughters, Fran and Sally.
