Her siblings included Laura (1890-1940) who married Robert Bruce MacCallum (1887-1977), Mable (b. 1892), Boswall John (1894-1975), Ruby who married Vernon Dennis, and Blanche who died in infancy. The family lived and farmed on the St. Peters Road at Dunstaffnage. Bertie attended Prince of Wales College and afterwards taught school at Donaldston where she boarded with the Court family.
