Thank you Kiltaglassan. I could not quite read the townland though I have checked out all the townlands of Taughboyne on Griffiths Valuations looking for Colhouns. As you might guess my Dougherty families are from that region and in particular many attended Monreagh Presbyterian Church including the Colhouns of my, also close, DNA matches. My Dougherty gt grandparents are buried at Crossroads Presbyterian Church, Killea.
But back to Glasgow. My grandfather Jack Graham did visit his Aunt Maggie. These are the diary entries for October 4 & 5 in 1918 which would have been his final "draft leave" prior to heading to France. Jack caught measles on the transport ship over to England in January 1918 and with one thing then another it took until Sept/October before he was fit for active service.
FRI Went out to Aunt Maggie & found Aggie & James down with the flu. Had a good time went round the town with Aunt Maggie.
SAT Came back from Aunt Maggies in afternoon & met Thomson at station. Seen a big fire in the town that night. Got to Aunties about 10:30 pm.
and on 8th October he wrote to his mother
My Dear Mother,
Just a few hurried lines, as I have a lot of writing to do.....Aggie [Jack's cousin in Glasgow] was laid up with the flue & James too, they had just got it the day before I got there... Aggie was able to be up a bit, & I cuddled & kissed her, but it was no good, I could not get the flue again.....Well I have passed the signalling test, & got first class so have the crossed flags now. I suppose you will be wondering when I am going to France now. Well that problem is solved, I am going over on Thursday 10th Oct. We are all ready now even our hair cropped right off & its feeling pretty cold up that way just now, for I generally wore a good crop.......Well I must ring off now as I have a lot of short letters to write before I go across....
With Best love to all
From your loving Son
Jack
