Why was Hannah called Bertha in 1911? Or have I read it wrong. They had been married 22 years.

No,I havent applied for that, yet, awaiting arrival of others...spending way too much at the moment! I recently sent off for a birth cert from my g g grandfather, who's mother was a unmarried mother and it didnt give any details, so wasnt worth the money I spent on it. If nobody can help on here, I will send off for it, but thought I would try the 'board' first before I did.
Cheers

Hi. you wonderful people!
I would like to ask for help again.
Bertha was my great grandmother. She married John Thomas Beckett Oct-Nov-Dec 1888.
Their children were Beatrice 1891 Ernest/Earnest 1893 Allan 1895 May/Mary 1897 John 1899 Ivy 1904 (My grandmother) Bertha 1907 Stanley 1909 Alice 1911
I can't find Berthas birth record or any census record of her until 1901.
Greares does seem like a surname and after a recent experience, I understand that unmarried mother did put the fathers surname as a middle name. I have searched variations with this as a consideration and still found nothing.
I have also searched Greves, Greaves.
In 1891 I have found her husband, as a visitor at 9, Alan Street, Leeds (THE SAME YEAR THEIR FIRST CHILD WAS BORN...COULD SHE HAVE BEEN IN HOSPITAL?) In 1901 I found him(although he is calling himself William) and Bertha at 26, Rider Street, Leeds. In 1911 I found them both at 23,Nippet Mount, Leeds
I would love help in finding her birth details and her whereabouts in 1881 and 1891 and her parents names etc.
Kind regards
Debi
