Have you looked for a possible birth for him in free bmd?
The most obvious one showing would give you another initial to work with.

Added:
Sorry, 2 births, 1905 and 1908, then not till 1928 (for name Albert)

Have you looked to see if anyone on here has him in their tree?

Added:
This appears to be the correct Bertie/Albert, as he is in your tree.
As you knew his year of birth, perhaps you could have stated it?
So is his name actually Bertie?

Use freebmd to find out whether he married.

Or buy his death cert, for details of the informant

Researching:
I am in no way related to anyone for whom I do lookups To acknowledge any info I may post, please do NOT click on my name. There is a large white box entitled 'Add your reply' for the purpose.
