Just wondering if two Rigby daughters married WRIGHT?
"Mesdames E. and A. Wright" named as daughters.
Francis Zilla married Arthur George WRIGHT, so she is Mesdame A. Wright.

Allie = Clarence - 5th born son.
Children are usually listed in birth order on the death notice the same as a death certificate.

Merv = Mervyn Edward Baden 26/10/1900 bap.12/01/1908 EVANDALE #7294/1908 #RGD 32
George & Mervyn appear to be twins. Due to a possible error originally only one instead of two registrations were made. George Stephen/Mafeking Edward Baden. This was rectified when Mervyn was baptised in 1908 which gave the same birth date as George.
Allie = Clarence 29/01/1907 THE NILE #2422

Can't see a birth for Mollie, but it's likely she was in her 20s when she married so her birth records are probably still embargoed publicly.

I see some immigration details for these people - happy to transcribe if you would like them.
You would need to get some certificates to validate these suggestions.

I am missing the death date and burial of Albert Ernest Cruse, possibly buried with his wife at East Devonport? Can you please help with this...?

The following notice was in the paper and I would like to know who died in 1930 related to Mrs A.H. Bird assuming it means Allan Horace Bird's wife Alice May nee Cruse. Can you help with this info please. Can't seem to find anything else to connect it with.

THANKS Mrs. A. H. Bird wishes to thank all kind friends and relatives for letters, cards, telegrams, and floral tributes in her recent bereavement.

Electoral rolls have Albert Ernest CRUSE at Latrobe, Tasmania up to 1943 so it seems likely he died in the 1940s.
Here's his death notice which only uses the name Ernest CRUSE, not Albert. ::) Given the mourners and family mentioned it seems that this is the correct person.
Died January 1944, buried at Latrobe cemetery, where his wife Margaret is.

Some immigration info:
A Martha FRAMPTON, 17, domestic servant, arrived on the Brankenmoor into Launceston 4 April, 1843, from London via Cork. She was a Bounty immigrant.
There are a few suitable Martha FRAMPTONs in the UK making it difficult to work out which one would be the right person.
The image of the marriage record for John and Martha is available on Familysearch, but unfortunately there's no parent details for either.
John is 29 and is on a Ticket of Leave; Martha is 19 and Free
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-89CH-QDWV?mode=g&i=21&cc=2125029

Regarding Martha Frampton, (m. John Owen Cruse), I have her lineage going back to 1679 in Walton, Somerset. She also had a brother Charles Frampton, who emigrated as well, and settled & died in Victoria. I have photos of both John and Martha Cruse, and some of the descendants if anyone is interested. Mary Cruse, the mother of John Owen also came to Australia, and she died in South Australia in 1871.
