Hello. I'm really hoping someone will be able to help me as I'm banging my head against a brick wall. I have a 'Bertie' and I'm having trouble locating any birth records for him. Other than: Albert, Bertram, Bertrand, Gilbert, Herbert, Hubert and Robert .... are there any other names abbreviated to Bertie???? There is another option ... Bertie is a nickname, but for all the information I do have for him, there is no mention of another firstname. Can anyone help??? |

Bertie J Roper - born c 1890 in Docking (apparently). Father's name was John Roper. Have tried looking under John too, but nothing registered under Docking. |

Just a thought but, as they did not marry until 1891, have you checked under the name Proudfoot? Sue:-) |

Thanks everyone for you help. It never even occurred to me that he was a Proudfoot. I was led to believe that he was a Roper. |
