Death |
1921 |
England, UK |
- The letter below was found in his son Harold's war record written by Albert's ex-wife Florence.
That suggests Albert Card died some time in 1921. However, no death record can be found that really fits.
3 York St, North Perth, March 20th 1922
Major McLean
Dear Sir,
Some time ago you wrote asking me if my husband was alive. He committed suicide in England some twelve months ago.
When my son left for the front he willed everything to me as my husband left Australia sixteen years ago and left both of us totally unprovided for.
Your respectfully F.Card
My son's name George Harold Blanchard Card No 2299 43rd Batt. Left 31st Oct 1916 Killed in action Aug 22nd 1918
P.S. You wrote regarding war medals

At Paignton Police Court on Friday, Albert Card, palmist on the Pier, was committed for trial to the Assizes, bail being refused, on a charge of attempted suicide.
Albert Card, a Paignton palmist, was committed for trial for attempted suicide* on May 7th. The man had been ill, and told Beach Inspector Braund that if he was not about on Thursday morning to tell Mrs. Card. On Thursday morning he was not about and three constables going to his office on the pier found him lying there unconscious. He had taken poison. In his diary was note. "Finish to-night"
*He reportedly died by his own hand in 1921
