Sorry, late to the party as ever. The name Faulkner only really appeared around the late 17th century, previously it was Faulkney. There are several different variations of the name but Faulkner comes from James Faulkney born in Castlebar around 1706. But further back than that comes from the Irish name O'fachtna. James Faulkney was my 6x great grandfather. James Faulkney's son was Anthony Faulkner who worked for lord Lucan the second earl. His son was James Faulkner who was a landlord, his son was Thomas who was also a land lord. Thomas had 3 daughters and two sons. My great great grandmother Agnes/Ines was the eldest, his second eldest daughter Kathleen inherited the family estate (the grove 3 and a bit acres) and sold it in 1993, she died in 1994.
