John Falkiner of Prospect
« on: Thursday 19 February 15 12:10 GMT (UK) »
Hi All,
I am a descendant of his daughter Rebecca Letitia Isadore who came to  Van Diemans Land  (Tasmania) Australia  in 1834 "FREE" along with her sisters. Brothers also came but haven't found a passenger list for them. Alot of records lack detail and no mother mentioned when they are married .Most newspaper notices  refer to father as the late John Falkiner  Esq of Prospect Tipperary. One son ventures to Victoria marries and has a family. On his death certificate the informant named his mother a Marian Loftus.
I cannot find any baptism records for the children and no marriages to suit. Or deaths of any parents either.
Known children are...
Marian 1804
Elizabeth Isabel 1810
Rebecca letitia Isadore 1814
John (India )
Daniel Richard 1811
Frederick Edward   to Victoria Australia
Henrietta Selina
Some trees on Ancestry have mother as Mary Cuddy ?? 
Any advice will be most welcome..

John (India) appears to be also John Falkiner the 3rd son, married Mary Angore in 1840, and another brother Rev. R.
If this is correct the father John has died before 1840.

Unless this is your post! This person seems to have found Marian Loftus as the mother but doesn't state how.

Perhaps it would be worth looking for Fredrick Edwards marriage.

Hi Sinann,
Thanks for your reply.
Yes, I believe the information on John Falkiner ,in India is the son.
 Son Frederick Edwards Marriage in Victoria took place (registered ) the  the same year  he died.Although I had downloaded the marriage the file is now damaged and the Victorian BDM"S site is down at the moment so will have to be patient to get another copy  :( ......
I have not posted on Ancestry in regards to this family. I  have had great help here from fellow rootschatters  in the past. I am searching through anything I can on line and sometimes you just have to be on the ground so to speak :)
