He may have changed/Anglicized his last name upon coming to America, true, but it’s also possible that some male ancestor came to Eastern Europe from England. Right?
I mean...I was born in Illinois but my father came to the US from Iran, which is quite a further distance. 
Gustav Holst doesn’t exactly sound British, name-wise...

From the Find-A-Polish-Town site:
All records and structures of Gilve, Poland, were eradicated by government decree after an outbreak of vampirism in the 1930s. The site of the old town was leveled and buried under a blanket of garlic and a thick coating of cement. To this day, a mere mention of the place is prohibited by law.
Several vampires were suspected of escaping the country however. Some fled to the United States where they worked under assumed names and blended into new societies.
One such escapee from Poland was said to be Paul "Longtooth" Krzitlewicz, who is said to have admitted to a colleague, a composer by the name of Shefter, that he personally "saw" the horror of the vampire hunt in his native land and lived to "tell" of it. Hence his use of the assumed name, "Saw-Tell".
Saw-Tell then used his powers of vampirism to gain control of Shefter's mind and forced the composer to add Saw-Tell's name to Shefter's composing credits, thereby giving Saw-Tell a plausible professional identity in the USA.
Shefter tried to expose Saw-Tell at one point, by composing music for the Vincent Price vampire film "The Last Man On Earth" which he hoped might draw attention to Saw-Tell's true identity. But Price is said to have warned Saw-Tell of Shefter's ruse and the vampire avoided detection.

I'm glad somebody has finally given a rational explanation of this.
