Find Ancestors

Hi, researching for a friend of mine the name of William Earls who was born around 1855ish in Galway. He served in the Military but they don't know which! They think he died in the Darlington area of England around 1915.
There is also a Duncan McNeill Barclay born about 1896 and married in Ireland but no clue as to where! a bit of a "needle in the haystack" this one!
I have found Duncan's military record but nothing else.
Can anyone guide me in the right direction please?

Kind Regards
Cameron Crichton

Maybe?

1911 maybe?? Can trace him back to 1891 with wife Jane/Ann so he wasn't in the Boer War. Can't locate a baptism for him in Ireland on the IGI
