On the Lake Manitoba arriving 23 Mar 1906 is
Charles Boniface 26, b. Middlesex destination Montreal with
Sarah 26, Mary 3, Alvena 8 mos, all born Devon.

Debbie

As it seems as thought they all come from Devon,I would imagine this is his birth.

Births Jun 1880

Although he could have died, and the death missed in transcription...Not all marriages were dissolved back then...not unusual for couples to split and quickly tie up again...
On that note, here is a Charles Boniface who says he immigrated in 190(3?5?), with a family, living in B.C.

You maybe can rule this one out, marriage says born Surrey parents Frederick & Mary... Plus just reread the entry from Jacquie that there was a sighting in 1910 Sask....

Yes this is the best, but I believe jacquie was right, she didn't want to marry as a bigamist, as looks as though she did marry him later in life
Marriages June quarter 1940  Sarah C Bonaface & John H Robbins  /  Bromley vol.2a p.2663

Have been looking at another Charles Boniface who was around the Saskatoon area...husband of Nina died in ww1 ( may have been a home child) so although there were few with the name Boniface, there were 2 Charles...

Ok I finally received the marriage certificate of Charles and Sarah Cutlip Salter....

The marriage occurred on the 24th Jan 1903:
Sarah was 21 years old and her fathers name was Nathaniel Salter (deceased) - Jobbing Gardener                Charles was 22 years old and his fathers name was William Boniface (deceased) - Naval Pensioner

Charles was a painters labourer and lived in, princess street, Devonport
Sarah was living in St Budeaux, Plymouth ( Watonga ? )

The witnesses were William Craig and (writing hard to transcribe)    -e---llal. ???

I Checked the Sarah Salter - John H Robbins 1940 marriage in bromley posted by J.J and this makes sense as most of the family settled down in Kent....

Thanks again for all your assistance  ;D.....It seems Charles and Sarah went there own ways very early in the marraige and Charles made his own life in Canada    ;D

It makes sense that his dad was called William as on the 1881 census where I found him with his grandparents,he has an older brother called William,probably the first born son and named after dad  ;D

Awe looks as though his brother passed away before the next census
Birth March Q. 1876 - William James _ Boniface / Stoke D.  vol.5b  p.334
Death March Q. 1884 - William James H /age 8 / Stoke D.  vol.5b  p.243
As mentioned the names may leave a clue...and now you know you can pick up that other marriage cert as well from the info Carol gave you above...

There is also a death March Q. 1939 for Maria E Boniface /age 80 / Plymouth vol. 5b p.536
However there is also a marriage  March Q. 1885 Stoke Damerel for a Maria Elizabeth Boniface... which can be cross-checked on census..
There are so few Boniface in the district I thought I'd mention there is a birth for a female Boniface, Henrietta Aston in 1883...( noted she had a sister Henrietta)

Here's the rootsweb listing for Boniface births, includes other spellings
