Master Bertram Vere Dean, 1¾, was born in London on 21 May 1910; the son of Bertram Frank Dean and Eva Georgette Light. He was the elder brother to Millvina Dean. In 1912 his parents decided to emigrate to Wichita, Kansas where they hoped to open a tobacconist shop. They boarded the Titanic at Southampton as third class passengers. Bert, his mother and sister survived the sinking. They reached New York and were quartered in hospital for a time before returning to England aboard the Adriatic. In his later years Bertram was educated at King Edward's school in Southampton, paid for by compensation from the various Titanic relief funds.
