Have never come across those names in Ireland, myself. Have you tried Scotland.

Hi Celia:
I took a quick look at Ros Davies's site for County Down and found several McFalls   http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~rosdavies/SURNAMES/Mc/McEMcF.htm#mcf

Lots of McFalls/McFauls/Falls, etc. in Northern Ireland, especially around North Antrim coast and Co. Londonderry.

McPhun is definitely correct, I am a McPhun,originally our family came from Scotland via Ireland to Australia & New Zealand. I am a descendent of William Henry McPhun who arrived in New Zealand in 1862 from Australia, he was with his sister Rose Grigg (nee McPhun) who married Robert Grigg in Dublin,St James Church 3/6/1822, Robert was in the army & I think Rose's father may have been to,but yet to be proven. All info I have to date is on a blog:
