BOWRING Winifred May Weymouth 5a 284

Hi I am trying to find my Great Grandmother's parents details...
This is all that my Grandad is able to tell me:
Winifred May Bowring, born in 1908 in Weymouth, Dorset. Her father died when she was a baby and her mother married a Mr Dare, a fisherman, also in Weymouth. Winifred May Bowring then became a Bowring-Dare. Then Mr Dare died and Mrs Dare then married a Mr Brown from Poole, Dorset. Then Mrs Dare (now possibly known as Mrs Brown?), also died! It's so tragic!!! So Mr Brown was then left a widow, with a child (Winifred May, my Great Grandmother)??!!?!?! So Mr Brown married a lady whom no-one knows the name of and my Great Grandmother, Winifred May Bowring, was left without her natural parents and never remembered her birth parents! So, so sad! Can anyone help me please? :-( :-S
