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...?

[marce]

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.


Examiner (Launceston, Tas. : 1900 - 1954), Tuesday 13 May 1930, page 1
THANKS Mrs. A. H. Bird wishes to thank all kind friends and relatives for letters, cards, telegrams, and floral tributes in her recent bereavement.

The Bereavement notice from Alice May BIRD may be in relation to the death of her mother, Margaret CRUSE (wife of Albert Ernest CRUSE) who died January 1930, aged 55.

http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/84914709
http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/84914676  Funeral notice further down in the same column.  Burial at general cemetery, Latrobe.

Can't see a death notice for Albert Ernest though.  See below.

In searching for the above I came across the marriage notice for Allan BIRD and Alice CRUSE

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
