Again from freebmd, this would look to be her birth (only Hilda G Bonner coming up from 1840 onwards)

Surname First name(s) District Vol Page
Births Jun 1894 (>99%)

Bonner Hilda Grace Alton 2c 162

If you then use another free site it will give Mother's maiden name from the start of registration in 1837 through to 1918 (100 year privacy otherwise). you have to register but searching is free.

For future reference many GR members don't have access to records as we don't pay for full membership. I happen to have credits available for free that come with my annual cheap renewal.

Use https://www.freebmd.org.uk - free to search and then copy and paste the info into your post.

You still need certificates to prove each generation though.
