Hi Anne Jane
I have 2 families of Falloon/Fallon/Filoon/Faloon in my family. One is Eilinor Killen married Joseph Falloon in Doagh, Ireland in 1855 then I have Sarah Filoon who married John Adams(on) in County Down Ireland. Sarah and John came to New Monkland, Lanarkshire before 1845. I had a quick look at the 1881 census and found one Patrick married to a Sarah born Ireland living in Rutherglen.
Cheers

Hi Carol
Many thanks for your e-mail. My Falloon family remained in Ayrshire as far as I know and Sarah Falloon is on the 1881 census as living with the Hughes family in Glengarnock.
It was also great to see another spelling of the name Falloon
I am in touch with someone else who is researching the Falloon family from the Coatbridge area I will e-mail her to see if she would like to get in touch with you

Hi Janie
It would be great to be in touch with more Falloons. Its not a common name no matter what the spelling. On John Adamson and Sarahs daughter Jemima death cert has her mother(Sarah) name spelt Phlune.
Cheers

Hi Carol
I forgot to ask you where you are? I stay in Glasgow and if you need any look ups please feel free to ask me.
I tried to find Patrick and Sarah Falloons death certificates on Scotlands people with no success. It will mean a trip to the LDS centre to try and trace them on the death entries so I will just have to be patient as the centre is now closed for the Easter holidays.
I am very new to this list so I would really appreciate it if you could tell me how I could send you my e-mail address .

Hi Margaret
My grgrgrgrandfather William Killin married Janet Duncan in Ireland their daughter Elinor married Joseph Faloon in 1855 Ireland they had 6 children between 1856 & 1877 all born in Ireland still havn't found anything on Joseph. The other is Sarah Filoon married John Adams(on) in the 1830"s Ireland then came to New Monkland between 1839-1845 all I've able to find out is that John was a miner and Sarah died in 1858 Clarkston. John and Sarah had Jane born 1839 Ireland, Mary born 1845 New Monkland and Jemima born 1849 New Monkland, I think Jane went on to marry Arthur Kennedy, Jemima married George Dunlop. I think their is also sons John and Thomas but havn't been able to verify as yet. I have been in contact with Janie what fun!
Cheers

Hi,
I don't recognise a direct connection to your Fallons but I have Fallon/Fallen in Troqueer Kirkcudbright in the 1840s and Annan, Dumfrieshire from 1861 onwards.
I've found that the wedding (1867) and death (between 1923 & 1950) of Michael Fallon are not on Scotlandspeople. Michael was born to Bridget and Thomas who were both born in Ireland. I thought it may have something to do with Michael being Catholic? His many children and wife Helen Scott however were not catholic - it's all been very confusing that's for sure.
;D

Hi Pam
I have had problems too with finding certificates for the Falloon family on Scotlands people. I think the reason for that is to get the certificate you need the exact spelling of the name on the certificate.
I will be going to the LDS sometime in the next few weeks so will search the indexes to the bdm's to see if I can find Falloons on them.
If you live near an LDS centre then I suggest you do the same as in the long run it will save you money.
My falloons arrived in Scotland around 1850 I managed to work this out when I found their date of marriage which was given as 1846 in Ireland and first found them on the 1851 census staying in Glengarnock Ayrshire
I have been trying to find Patrick Falloons date of death which is between 1871 and 81 as I am trying to find out who his parents were the same with his wife Sarah but like yourself I have had no luck in finding them on Scotland's people
Where do you stay?

I'm in Edinburgh so get quite a lot of access through Edinburgh Library's "Scottish History room". The LDS has funny opening hours for us 9 to 5 girls.
I had a look at the Troqueer OPRs yesterday and saw some entries for catholic families listed with the adendum (e.g.) "...performed by J P McManus catholic priest". But no sign of my lot.
Lots of squinting time still needed!
Cheers,
Pam

Hi Pam
Have you tried searching for poor law applications? I don't know where they would be held for the areas that you are researching perhaps someone in the library maybe able to tell you.
My grandmother and her family,the Johnstons, came from Dumfries but I haven't really done much research on that side of the family
The LDS here in Glasgow have quite good opening times the only thing is that they close during the school holidays
I will need to make a trip one day to Edinburgh so would appreciate any tips you could give me on researching there as I have never been
Nice to hear from you and keep in touch

Hi All
I am also trying to find Faloon's or Feloon's that are from Armagh Ireland. All I know is Margaret Caroline Faloon born in Armagh in 1838/1839 to John and Helen Faloon. The immigrated to Australia before 4th July 1861 as Margaret married John Harrison on this date.
If any of your Faloon's match these I would love to hear it! Have been searching for a while now and cannot find anything!
Thanks
AJ ;)

Annie Falloon came to Australia in 1863/64. Her parents are listed as Joseph Falloon and Mary Anne Woods. She was born in about 1840. She came from the Kilmore area of Armagh. I have found the surname spelt as Faloon, Fulloon, Fuline and Falon.
Regards,

Hi Gloss
This post might get better results on the Armagh/Ireland board here on RootsChat unless Annie and family were in Ayrshire/Scotland for any of the censuses before she left for Australia.
Regards.

Hi Monica,
I'm just adding my Falloon surname to the thread as you never know your luck in this global world!!

Hi I've got a Mary Falloon married to a George Hughes in 1872 - any relative to the Falloons you are researching - they got married in 1872 in kilbirnie. Mary had a sister Jane. If they are related to your falloon, I'd be glad to see where the rest of the family fits in with mine (Hughes)
Best wishes Babs

Hi, I know it's been a while since anyone posted on this, I'm looking at Hughes, kilbirnie at moment, do you have anymore on George Hughes who married Mary in 1872, cheers
