Is this the death you mean - Elizabeth DONNELLY (14582 / 1918) aged 84 at Riddlells Creek. According to the Vic BDM Index, her parents were John CLARK and Louisa (unknown maiden name).

This appears to be the family in 1851 at Brampton, Huntingdonshire:

And most likely in 1841 in Cardington, Bedfordshire, mother Louisa (strange spelling), though no father with them on census night.

From the 1851 census, John and Louisa's son Samuel was born c1842 Cardington. Most likely this birth registration - Jun qtr 1842, Bedford Union (06/28), mother's maiden name - GRAY.

A John CLARK married Louisa GREY 29 Dec 1821 at Haynes, Bedfordshire.
