As for Fallion, well... he's clearly got a past. I'd wager that he's experimented in less "acceptable" types of magic, including those that extend life. He must be older than he looks if he taught old men in the College of Winterhold. For all we know, he might have met the last Dwemer 250 years before meeting the last Dragonborn. I doubt Falion did such a thing. He has a sister in the same city that doesn't appear to be a mage. So unless he gained a little sister through Aedra know what means after 200 years, he is simply an extremely talented wizard that from a young age was skilled enough to teach people that were nearly or older than himself.

As for Fyr, I think that the Dragonborn DLC made the whole lore surrounding the Great Houses of Morrowind either too confusing or incorrect. The mission for Brand-Shei in Riften explained that House Telvanni was gone and Brand-Shei was, most likely, the last living member of the Great House of Wizardry. Then came Dragonborn, introducing Master Neloth, one of the most famous members of House Telvanni, alive and kicking and seemingly not a day older and perfectly fine after a whopping 200 years, which included the Oblivion Crisis, the Red Year, the Great War and certainly not to forget the Argonian Invasion into Morrowind, where especially the Telvanni were hunted down. In the same mission (Brand-Shei's), it was said that the last surviving members of Telvanni escaped with a boat, which was later found shipwrecked with only Brandon Tenvanni surviving.

Seeing as most of the Telvanni were centered on the Eastern side of Vvardenfell and their holdings were in the Northeastern part of the Morrowind Mainland, not to mention the close proximity of Vvardenfell's Telvanni's seat of power was so close to Port Telvannis, and the Argonians apparently got all the way up there to sack it all, I would normally rather doubt that Tel Fyr survived. But seeing as suddenly Neloth hopped along and said that House Telvanni was all fine and dandy, I would probably say the Fyr Family was doing alright.
