Hello Janice,I have just checked birth records for 1891 and wonder if the Bertie was short for Robert rather than the later Bertram. Perhaps the 1891 one died. Will need to check.

In my 89 years I have never known anyone named Robert called Bertie for short. It is usually, Robert, Rob, Bobby or Bob.
