May 2001 Roll Call

No.1 Pauline Mowbray

 I am part of the Eastbourne Boniface's and my cousin's who I know who are on
BIG are Michael Bignell in Canada, And Louise Genge in Australia with me. I
am sorry if I have missed anyone if you would like to remind us you have
connections with the Eastbourne Boniface's that would be great?

The furthest back with proof of Church Records, Wills, Certificates & Census
records we have got is with the following family who are my direct line back
to me? We have other possibilities but until confirmed I do not add.

Thomas Boniface born abt 1755 Eastbourne, married 1779 Eastbourne, Elizabeth
Rich born abt 1759 Eastbourne, 11 known children, her parents Richard Rich &
Elizabeth Waymarke.

George Boniface born 1779 Eastbourne, married 1802 Eastbourne, Lucy Verrall
born 1778 Eastbourne, 11 known children although on her memorial card in
1869 it states 14 children, 89 grandchildren, 37 great grandchildren, (I did
here a story that she took in 3 children?) Lucy's parents were Thomas
Verrall and Sarah Collins.

Edward Boniface born 1813 Eastbourne, married 1833 Eastbourne, another Lucy
Verrall born 1818 Eastbourne, 11 known children, Lucy's parents were William
Verrall & Elizabeth Earle.

George Boniface born 1836 Eastbourne, married 1858 Folkington, Sx, Sarah
Jane Hilton born 1833 West Firle, Sx, 8 known children, Sarah's parents
Henry Hilton & Ann Stephens.

Harriet Lucy Boniface born 1864 Eastbourne, married 1833 Eastbourne, Jesse
Fry born abt 1861 Frant, Kent 5 known children, Jesse's parents Jesse Fry
Hannah? Second wife Mary Wells 16 known children between the 2 wives,
Jesse's Parents James Fry & Bathsheba Upton, John's parents John Fry &?
Bathsheba's James Upton &? I have looked for over 12 years for the last the
3 Generations so keep looking.

If any has any information and I do think one day there must be a connection
with the Hailsham & Pevensey families? I'm sure we will find one day there
will be some distant cousin we are connected to in the other Boniface's?

PS I saved this email in Word from last Roll Call as it is to much to keep
typing out and have just upgraded pieces of it.

Wiltshire, Devon
they all came together in that cauldron which was East London in the
1800's What they would have made of the Dome well.......

No.3 Betty Deforest

I am still looking for the same folks as the last roll Call.
I have not found anymore pieces to my puzzle for a very long time..
For the newcomers to the list...I have 3 BONIFACE lines because
of cousins marrying cousins..

No.4 Jeff & Marilyn Young

My line & interests are:

F: Ewen Richard PARSONS
GF: George Richard PARSONS born 1883 Masterton, NZ, died 1983 Te Awamutu NZ
GGF: George Henry BONIFACE born 1838 Nuthurst, Sussex, died 1908 Makotuku, NZ.
(NOTE: He used PARSONS as his surname from 1873, therefore all his
descendants from then have the PARSONS surname but should be BONIFACE)
2xGr Grandfather: James BONIFACE born 1813 Nuthurst, Sussex,
died 1838 Nuthurst, Sussex
3xGr Grandfather: Thomas BONIFACE born 1782

I am connected to both Beth Hughes and Mary Norman.

I would like to find the birth/christening entry for Catherine BONIFACE born around
1834-38. She possibly was born & christened before the marriage of her parents 
James BONIFACE born 1813 Nuthurst, Sussex and Catherine GILLICE at Nuthurst
on 27 June 1836, therefore she could been christened with her mother's surname GILLICE.

I am also researching the GILLICE surname.

No.5 Janet (Boniface) Glass

The following is my line as far as I have been able to research it. I am
most interested in more information about my 2X grandfather James Boniface,
also were there other siblings in his family besides his son James?

Sorry not much on this roll call, may be next time I will have more 

No.7 Lynda Pay
I`ve only just begun So please excuse any lack of info. My links are
through My fathers Line.

Father - Henry Frank JACKSON b Brighton 1911
GM - Elizabeth Mildred BONIFACE b Bton 1885 + Henry James JACKSON
1G-GF- David BONIFACE b Bton 1856 + Amelia Letitia KNIGHT
2G-GF- James BONIFACE b Twineham 1811 + Elizabeth BONIFACE 1814
Then as Steve Everitt
Just to say its been a lovely day here for the start of our Brighton
Festival, the first one as a City.
The Town Centre, and seafront area are very busy ,also our "Seagulls"
(Brighton & Hove Albion) have just won the 3rd Division title and are promoted
to the 2nd Division!
The Whole Place has that super buzzy feel that is really Brighton

No.8 Carole Bonifas
As previously this is my BONIFAS line - have added in the wives:

Grandfather - Leroy William Dutton BONIFAS (b. Wimbledon 1899-d. London
1974) m. Minnie Martha Elizabeth SMITH (b. London 1902, d. London 1992);
Ggrandfather - Alfred Leroy William Dutton BONIFAS (b. London 1878-d
c1960)m. Ellen Gertrude COSTER (b 1878, d. c. 1961)
GGgrandfather - William Dutton BONIFAS (b. Chard, Somerset 1839-d Putney
1896) m. Elizabeth Ann WEBB b. Rotherhithe c. 1840
GGGgrandfather - Dutton BONIFAS (b. Dorchester Dorset 1782-d. Chard,
Somerset 1849) m. 1. Charity BURRIDGE (b. c. 1783, d. Dorchester 1807); 2.
Sarah MABER (b. Bath c1785, d. Chard 1832); 3. Louisa Maria GOUGH (b.
Topsham 1803, d. Langport 1870)
GGGGgrandfather John (Jean) BONIFAS (mar. London1765 to Jane DUTTON, d.
Dorchester c. 1815)
GGGGgrandfather Francois BONIFAS (alive in London 1766, possibly born Haut
Languedoc, France, possibly married to Louise BERTRAND)

Francois was a Huguenot, most likely a refugee from the Haut Languedoc
region of France where the BONIFAS clan was, and is, numerous. I'm still
looking for the actual link to 18th century France which is probably my
'most wanted'.

In the UK today the only BONIFAS's I know of are all descended from my
ggrandfather, Alfred.

Only recent development is contact with a lady in Hawaii whose maiden name
is BONIFAS and whose father emigrated from London to the USA in 1921. We
are trying to find a common link.

Although some of my family are occasionally (mis?)spelt BONIFACE over the
years by various clerks etc, the spelling is generally pretty consistently
BONIFAS since 1765, thus backing up Hugh's theory that it is a Huguenot
name. No links to any BONIFACE family as yet, but you never know!

No.9 Helen Herbert 
My line is almost the same as Hilary Ferguson's, so I have connections with
her, with Derek Parson, with Michele Tsuji and I think with Andy Holter. My
thanks to the late Bert Parsons who supplied much of the information below.

GGM - Elizabeth born Hailsham,1855-1917, m. Frederick William MOON
2XGF - James 1836 - ? m. Mary PAGE
3XGF - William 1800-1847 Hailsham m Jemima FOSTER
4XGF - **John 1766-1844 Hailsham m **Charity BONIFACE 1769-1837 Hailsham
(**Cousins)
5XGF - *Francis 1725-1808 Eastdean/Hailsham m Mary GASON
5XGF - *William 1739-1777 Jevington/Folkington m Mary COLEMAN
(*Brothers)
6XGF - Thomas 1693-1756 Wilmington/Folkington m Elizabeth WINDER
7XGF - Francis 1666-1704 Friston/Arlington m Elizabeth FULLER
8XGF - Richard 1618-1669 Eastbourne/Friston m Mary
9XGF - George 1578-? Hailsham m Ales AERIDGE
10XGF - John m Tomsyne COLLYAR

My main interest now is in any 'anecdotal' information that members may
have, in order to put flesh on bones, e.g occupations, cause of death, links
with other members etc.. I would also like to find a link with the
Eastbourne crowd. Despite all the information gleaned over the past couple
of years, (mainly due to the inestimable Steve), we still haven't found a
connection.

Me
Father
Grandmother: Ethel Ellen Marea NICHOLLS 1906-1981 Eastbourne m Stanley BIGNELL

-- 
Can't claim to have worked this out for myself as the vast majority has come
from BIG. Still can't believe my luck that I stumbled across the site. My
mother is delighted that this info is available and now old photos etc. seem
to mean a lot more. If any of you ever come across the book 'Sussex, People,
Places and Things' by Bernard Price you'll find mention of some Bonifaces. My
Great grandfather Harry Boniface is on the cover looking after his flock at
age 12 (1888 and a three generation picture of Harry, Nelson (his son) and
John (Harrys father)is shown within the book. That's my boniface claim to
fame. Sadly, very few of my line still carry the Boniface name but I suppose
thats the way things go. Sorry that I currently add no value to the BIG cause.
Hats off to those who do - I am sincerely in your debt!

No.15 Derrick Parsons
Here is my Boniface role call. Most of the links are based on information I
have received from various BIG members and Bert Parsons. Those links I have
been able to verify have proven to be accurate and, because of this, I'm
happy to assume the accuracy of those that I have not been able to verify -
but I am still working on the verification!

GM: May Ellen Boniface (1895, Portsmouth) m (1922) Ernest
George Parsons.
1G.GF Caleb (1860, Ditchling) m1 (1883) Jane King (1861); m2
(1919) Harriet Ann Mills.
2G.GF Thomas (1862) m (1856) Harriet Saunders
3G.GF Francis (1793, Pevensey) m. Lucy Beeching (abt 1796,
Hailsham)
4G.GF William (1763, Hailsham) m. Elizabeth Woods (1768,

9G.GF George (1578, Hailsham) m. Ales Aeridge (1590)
10G.GF John m. (1575) Tomsyne Collyer

Through the above, I know that I have relationships with at least 4 other
BIG members.

looked at this to prove that this is my Louisa.

Mary Boniface's occupation on 1881 census: Farm Servant. She possibly
married June 1889 Horsham (ref 2b / 563)

This is my roll call, amassed largely due to a great deal of help from other 
BIG members (Thanks). The majority of the family is Hailsham based and I 
still have a keen interest in how the Dennis family link with the Bonifaces 
from the early 1800s, by living on the same farms for many years - Horns in 
Westham and Boship Cottage and Upper Horsebridge

My list is
Grandparents Rose Dennis and Richard Cousins
Great Grandparents Percy Dennis 1878 m Charlotte Blaky
2GG Gauis Denns 1845 m Jane Boniface 1843 
(Link to Andrew : Jane is sister to John 1838)
3GG William Boniface 1812 m Harriot 1815
4GG John Boniface 1788 m Jane Putland 
(Link to Derrick/Michele : John is brother to 
Francis 1793)
5GG William 1763 m Elizabeth Woods 1769
6GG Francis b 1725 m Mary Gason
7GG Thomas 1693 m Elizabeth Winder
(Other Big Connections??)
8GG Francis 1665 m Elizabeth Fuller
9GG Richard 1618 m Mary 
10GG George 1578 m Ales Aeridge
11GG John Boniface 1575 m Tommsyne Collyar

(BIG member 28)
 
I have two lines both starting at the same place, and of course
 
ending in the same place (me and my son James). 

Starting from my Great Great Grand parents: 

George Collins (1825-1875) Bepton married Lucy Holder

Elizabeth Bonney (1798-1848) Midhurst married James Collins

Thomas Bonney (1757-?) Treyford cum Didling married Ann Sowter

Edward Boniface (1730-?) Didling & Trotton married Agnes Allen

Edward Boniface married Elizabeth Elliott 

Lucy Holder (1832-1912) Easebourne married George Collins 

Lucy Titcom (1795-?) Midhhurst married William Holder

Sarah Boniface (1767-?) Treyford, West Sussex married Henry Titcom 

Edward Boniface (1730-?) Didling & Trotton married Agnes Allen

Edward Boniface married Elizabeth Elliott 



Now this is where the "perhaps" begins and the tree get's a bit uncertain. 

Edward Boniface (1698-?) married Elizabeth Elliott at Wiggonholt
 
Thomas Boniface (1660 or 1664) married Judith Nightingale at Heyshott 

is either the child of John Boniface (1623-?) married Annas Dedman at Easebourne 

or his brother Thomas Boniface (1628-?) married Alice Hopkin 

John Boniface (1593-?) married Anne Herres in Hurstpierpoint
 
James Boniface (1570- 1627) married Marie at Woodmancote 

We are very grateful for the help received from Hugh Boniface 

We have made a web site for the other names that we are researching 

and if you are interested in other Sussex names you may find something on there. 



http://www.allan.dorothy.btinternet.co.uk/homepage.htm

From James Boniface to John Keed Boniface, my great grandfather, all were born

in England. John Keed was born in Oldham, came to NYC with his father in the mid 

1800s, and had three wives. I don't know about the other two but his third wife of whom 

I am descended, Ruth Hannah Taylor was born in Lancashire. They met while they were

in NYC. They later moved to Morristown, N.J. and had many, many children. I hope one

of their descendents reads this
 and can shed some light on the tree or this be of help to

them. Here's the tree down five
 generations....Ken Lanterman.

3xGF Samuel (dates?) m. Margarette BONIFACE (dates?)

I seem to link into the tree supplied by the late Bert Parsons at this
point, but I haven't yet added it in to my list yet, but that ties me to
Hilary Ferguson and others thru' the Hailsham families.
I'm not very active on this line at present but I keep 'listening' to all
your banter, which helps brighten up the day,but hey the summers here (all 5
days of it!)

Please add me to the roll call. Although not an active family tree tracker I do keep a
close eye on whats happening to see if I can be of any help to anyone re. Hailsham,
Eastbourne etc. as that is where I now live. 
My Boniface line is the same as my cousin Terry Walls. My father is Gordon Scott
b.April 4th 1925. Mother. Stephanie Huggett b.November 1st 1927. Grandparents
on fathers side makes the Boniface connection. 

Mainline: Mother-Doris May....Uncle-Albert William George 
GF: Albert Edward 1902-1984 Brighton
GGF: Albert 1872-1936 Brighton 
2xGF:Henry 1841-1906 Brighton 
3xGF:James 1811- 1887 Woodmancote 
4xGF:William 1776 5xGF:Richard 1730 
6xGF:Henry 1684 7xGF:Thomas 1634 
8xGF:Richard 1607 
9xGF:Thomas 1573? 
Weak area in research is William birth and Richards connection
Have now discovered that there are two Richard & Ann's and I have
to separate the original one big family into two. Looking at records to
pin down and verify this area of my tree. Connection to Lynn Pay and 
her son Antony Pay through common ancestor James. Antony is 
descended from Henry's brother David. Interests of late include
the Boniface's who married each other. I have a John Boniface 
who married an Emily Boniface. Emily's father was a James Boniface.
Through this line I connect to Beryl Freemantle.
