Bonsall doesn't sound like a name that grows on trees .....
Did I
really just say that?!
Could it even be that she adopted another first name? Such a name might be fine amongst Gypsys. But, if they'd settled, she may have found it a bit much amongst all the more usual Ellen's, Ann's and so forth?
Then, of course, there's the myriad ways the spelling could become mangled ..... Not a task I envy ye, sorting that lot out
