There have been two baronetcies created for persons with the surname Falkiner, one in the Baronetage of Ireland and one in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. As of 2014 one creation is believed to be extant.
The Falkiner Baronetcy, of Anne Mount, in the County of Cork,[1] was created in the Baronetage of Ireland on 24 August 1778 for Sir Riggs Falkiner, 1st Baronet. He was the great-grandson of Michael Falkiner, originally of Brigart, Leeds, who had settled in Ireland in the 1650s, and represented Clonakilty and Castlemartyr in the Irish House of Commons. The fourth Baronet was a Captain in the Royal Navy. The fifth Baronet was a Lieutenant-Colonel in the British Army and served throughout the Peninsular War. As of 31 December 2013 the present Baronet has not successfully proven his succession to the title, and is therefore not on the Official Roll of the Baronetage, with the baronetcy considered dormant since 1997.[2]
