How about Ellen or even Helen. Did you spell Eleanor correctly, you have missed out the a in your message so you may not have realised how it was spelt. I suppose it could also be Eileen Ann Glos

It could be Eleanor................Or Isabelle.......Isabella? Or maybe just a nickname. I think I would try Isabelle, sounds the most likely Regards Ann
