Etchells/Bowker family - please help!

Surnames: Etchells, Bowker
Hiya, I'm new to this and have hit a brick wall, wondering if anyone can shed any light for me ..

My gran's maiden name was Winifred Rose Etchells, born in Birmingham in 1912 (2nd Feb, died Nov 6, 1981) she had a sister Catherine Hilda Etchells, known as Hilda.

Her BMD listings state that her mothers maiden name was Bowker. I know that she died young, when Hilda was about 10, Hilda was born 1909.

I can find a Catherine Bowker who fits this, but no details at all for her father. However, I can find a marriage listing for an etchells (Tom) to Catherine's sister Annie, in the 40's ...

I have been told that Mr Etchells was wealthy and that his mother was possibly Kate McCormack. He owned horse racing tracks around the Midlands area apparently.

Does anyone have any info that they can pass on that would help, even slightly please!!!

I am on a limited budget and so cannot buy certificates, which is obviously not helping!

Thanks in anticipation, Lisa :)
