Bertram's father died in 1911, when Bertram was 16 years old.

After the First World Ward, in 1920 Bertram married Nellie Frances Dorothy, who was from Exeter. They married in the Exeter area but then returned to Plymouth, where they had two children during the 1920s. At the outbreak of the Second World War, Bertram was living at 7 Longfield Place in Plymouth and working as a solicitor's clerk.
