Dear Debbie,
I don't know if my William FAULKNER had a brother Thomas. I know that William was born in 1836 Northamptonshire, England and that his parents were William/Elizabeth LOEST. I have a Map of Rokewood showing the FAULKNER's land. There is an area of 20 Acres owned by Thomas FAULKNER purchased 30/7/1888 - maybe a connection. It could have been William's son who was a Thomas.
Kind regards, Sue
