Hi Trish,
I see John was in the Army, have you got any records for him?
There is a record which is about his age. (you would have to through another site to get the information)This is John's death. his son Thomas was present at the death and it says he is married. (if a box shows when you open the link just type in John Larkin.

Trish, Just a thought, are the Larkins Church of Ireland?
I drilled through the Parish books and there isn't any listed for Baptisms.
The what I noticed there are two Larkin males, John and a Joseph, they were both in Ballymullen Barracks.
