Tipperary / Re: Sadleirs in Tipperary

I have seen her birth name recorded as both Gorman and O'Gorman. So far no Johanna or Howard connections but I will let you know if I come across either.
It is likely that Bonnera is an anglicised version of the name of a townland in Tipperary. Townlands are the smallest administrative units in Ireland, smaller than a parish. You may find that townland on the searchable index of place names in Ireland: http://logainm.ie/. The site will initially appear in Gaelic but there is an English language option on the top right corner. You can search by county and there is a map feature for each place listed on the site as well as links to additional information, including the meaning of the place name.
I hope this information helps.
