On 5 January 1737, Falkiner married firstly Mary Barker. She died in 1762, and Falkiner married secondly Anne Maturin, daughter of Reverend Gabriel James Maturin, in October 1764. He had four daughters and three sons by his first wife, and one daughter Sarah Anne by his second wife. Falkiner died in 1797 and was succeeded in the baronetcy by his only surviving son Samuel. His daughter Elizabeth married Attiwell Wood, a prominent local barrister who, no doubt through a family arrangement, represented the same two constituencies as his father-in-law between 1769 and 1783. His youngest daughter, Sarah Anne, in 1784 married William Mullins, 2nd Baron Ventry, but died in 1788, leaving two daughters. (en)
