John Fair born Clonakilty C1805

I am looking for information about my 3 x great grandfather John FAIR who was born in Clonakilty C1805, joined the British Army at Manchester in 1826, probably married Eliza Jane CAREY, ended up with Army in India where he was discharged in 1848 and died in Madras (Chennai) in 1852. The person whom I believe may have been his daughter, Eliza JACKSON, married in India and came to New Zealand in 1864. I plan to visit Ireland in mid-August this year and would be most grateful for any information, or contacts, or suggestions re sources or accommodation etc etc ......
