Don't see birth of Bertha Arnold.
But there's this - coincidence?
The whole family has A as a middle initial in the 1881 census..

Did the Arnold family from 1881 take the surname Dear, for some reason?

They all have the middle initial A, which could be for Arnold.
Also the father's name is given as William P A Dear.
William Philip Arnold Dear????

(As per the 1867 marriage posted by Maureen)

ArgyllGran Report 27 May 2014 16:34

the Dear family from 1881, now calling themselves Arnold in 1891 - so Bertha, visiting her grandparents, was also called Arnold:
