Harkin/s - Buncrana Co. Donegal

I am seeking help with my 4xgreat grandfather Patrick Harkin/s. Born near Buncrana, Co.Donegal between 1837 and 1839 (according to Army records). He was the son of Patrick Harkin and Mary Owens or Dougherty. He was a tailor by trade but enlisted for service in Scotland in 1857. He was a memeber of the the 26th Reg. of Foot. He married Elizabeth McKay at Edinburgh Castle on 11 April 1862. He was posted extensively throughout Britian and was residing in Portsmouth on the birth of his daughter (Catherine) in 1863. In 1865 he saw service in India (54th Regt. of Foot) until his discharge in 1878. He had 4 children in India and another 4 in Scotland where he resided after discharge before immigrating to Australia
If you can offer me any assistance with any of this line I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you, Karen.
