Family recollections recall Ethel as being called Nellie.
It is also recalled that her husband was called Albert which does not fit with either of her husbands?
As we have no time frame for this information, one possible explanation for this could be that both Bertram and Herbert was shortened to "Bert" which may have been misinterpreted as Albert by younger generations?
This is of course all congecture and requires further investigation.
