I am trying to trace the mckinn side of my family, but have hit a brick wall

My GGgrandad Robert Herbert was in the 14th regiment & was based at the curragh from 1871 he married an irish girl called Maria Mckinn in 1878, i have a copy of the marriage certificate from ballysax church & it says she also lived at Curragh Camp at the time of marriage & i cant work out why, at first i thought maybe her father was also in the army, but her father who according to the marriage certificate was Charles Mckinn who was a servant.
I can not trace any birth reg. anywhere for maria mckinn (b.1859) or her father Charles Mckinn or any marriage details for him

I do know maria mckinn & my GGgrandad travelled to the east indies etc, yorkshire & had children in numerous places then back to surrey where my grandad was born & finished his army career & on all census' from 1891 it is stated that she was born in ireland in 1859.

Any help in resolving these mysteries would be appreciated
