Hi, This is not a different language so I think you are wanting people to help interpret/decipher what is written in English. 

Could you let us know which parts you have got already so we don't waste time getting words you  already know.

There are parts eg the top lines 1-5 that are clear etc...just so we concentrate on the difficult ones

Then:

7     Francis Devine

Red Leader?

In historical contexts, "Red Leader" most often refers to a painter who applied red lead paint to metal surfaces, often to prevent rust.

8 Ok

9 2 or 12 Tasker St then same word as at the top

10 David Rodgers Carter Deceased Susan Rodgers nee McCrory deceased

11 Vesical Carcinoma

Vesical carcinoma is another term for bladder cancer, specifically referring to cancer that originates in the bladder's lining. It is a type of cancer where abnormal cells grow out of control within the bladder, potentially leading to the formation of a tumor.

 Hi A red  leader  ( in this context ) was a worker who applied red lead to ships being built. Unfortunately many of these workers died young ( probably due to inhaling the toxic fumes of the product they worked with).  Francis Devine most likely worked in the local shipyards. Regards Orkrad.

Tasker St is in Greenock. A well known ship building town, even today.
