John married Jennie Stewart in 1874 in Toronto at St. James Cathedral. Her parents were John and Frances Stewart. Jennie Faulkner died in 1918 in Sundridge. Both John and Jennie Faulkner are buried in the Strong Cemetery in Sundridge.
John and Jennie had no children, but adopted a girl Lily Agnes Faulkner born about 1888 who was also a photographer in Sundridge. According to Northern Ontario Vintage Postcards site,
Lily was the daughter of John's younger brother William. However to date there is no proof of this.

It's nice that you could find your ancestor in other types of listings and directories. That is great. We found one ancestor included under livestock farmers with the variety of pig that he raised listed. fun.

Thanks. Sometimes it's the only way to locate your family, either between census or missing census. It certainly adds a little colour to the drab details. I once found 3 more names for my tree from a newspaper article about a fire in 1864.
