The Boniface family emigrated to Australia and changed their name to Bonney. They did very well for themselves!

Boniface crops up in just about every Sussex enumeration district.
AS for Stanquinope, is that really a proper name? That is what I initially thought it was, but google returns a failed to find anything page and I can not find anyone else called this. Therefore I assume its one of those names which enumerator just guessed at.
