Some people could be called Bert or Bertie as a name in its own right, but it could be short for Bertram Albert Herbert Hubert Robert and probably others, these are the ones I thought of straight away. Oops! I see you said 'lady'. Well Bert could be a nickname and nothing to do with her real name, or she could be Alberta, Bertice, Bertha, Roberta... nell |

Could be a mis interpretation of a ladies name - several in my tree might be the dialect wasnt understood - nearesdt I could think of would be Beatie short for Beatrice Sylvie |

Have you ever heard of a female being called it? Ive been racking my brain to think what it was short for. But as you say it could be her proper name. Sue |

Bertie is a name in itself in Wales....but usually for a male. Roberta for a female? |
