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
Regards.

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.
