Charles Harkins Born 1874 Scotland to Co Mayo between 1904-1907

[Pukeen]

Does anyone have any info on Charles Harkins who moved to Co Mayo with his brother James Leo Harkins between 1904 and 1907?   I can't find any marriage certs but do know of 3 children of his.

Hi Pukeen

You look to have the census info for Charles and his family between 1881 - 1901.  Are you looking for a Scottish marriage for Charles before he left for Ireland?

There are 4 entries showing between 1905-09 for the marriage of a Charles Harkin(s).

Regards.

Unfortunately I am not sure.  I do know that he went to Ireland with my grandfather and settled in Co Mayo.  I am not sure where he married or to who, but I do have names for three of his children.  Two of whom went to live and died in London, and one who married and stayed in Foxford, Co Mayo.

I'll include here the search results  for marriages just in case anything comes up for you on further searches:

1   1905   HARKIN   CHARLES   KERR   FRANCES   FALKIRK   /STIRLING   479/00 0153   
2   1907   HARKINS   CHARLES   MULHERON   SUSAN   ST PETER   DUNDEE CITY/ANGUS   282/01 0176
3   1908   HARKIN   CHARLES   MORRAN   BETSY   GOVAN   GLASGOW CITY/LANARK   646/02 0232   
4   1909   HARKINS   CHARLES   GALLACHER   AGNES   CAMLACHIE   GLASGOW CITY/LANARK   644/02 0022   
 
If you know the name of his children, do you know if they were born in Ireland or Scotland.  You could search the birth index on Scotlands People to see if that throws anything up. Assuming first born son called Charles, there are 8 births for Charles Harkin
(s), including this is one (not thinking necessarily your Charles, but probably related given the family's location):

1902   HARKINS   CHARLES   M   BATHGATE   /WEST LOTHIAN   662/01 0054

I appreciate your insights.  That Charles Harkins was my fathers 1/2 brother, who must have been named for his grandfather.  The Charles Harkins I am aware of died in London, but I believe was born in Ireland. 
From what I am thinking Charles 1874 came over to Ireland single and married there, but I can't get positive info from anyone.
