No obvious births found for her marriage with Charles Burt.  There are in fact, nine Burt - Harding births but none around Dorchester; Oxfordshire is the closest county.

I wonder if this is a second marriage for her?  It may need the certificate purchased.

Not needed.  Yes!  Confirmation from the CWGC site (marvellous) for her 1st husband’s Death in Action.

And a possible third marriage, as it looks like her second husband John W Allen had died:

First name(s) BERTHA G
Last name ALLEN
Marriage quarter 2

And if the above was her marriage (certificate needed, ordered and now received), might this be her death, the birth date is the same as on the 1939 Register:

First name(s) BERTHA GERTRUDE
Last name TYRRELL
Gender Female
Birth day 19
Birth month 4

Certainly the same lady was a Boarding House proprietoress in 1939, judging with her birth date:

Address: 2 Salisbury Villas , Dorchester M.B., Dorset

FIRST NAME(S) LAST NAME(S) DOB SEX OCCUPATION MARITAL STATUS  SCHEDULE  SCHEDULE SUB NUMBER

Bertha G Tyrrell 19 Apr 1890 Female Boarding House Proprietress  Married  308  1
[Sorry, this record is officially closed. Check if you can open a closed record.]
Vera ? Bennett (Fooley,Bennett) 05 Sep 1918 Female  Unpaid Domestic Dutie  Single  308  3
William Toogood 26 Sep 1887 Male Brewers Labourer Single  308  4

The redacted line on this report indicates a youngster (probably).  I wonder if it might be a child of hers, though she was 49 years old then and a few years past childbearing.  There is an Allen child on the birth indexes with a Harding mainden name, now confirmed by the birth certificate to be hers: Mabyn Nesla Allen.
