By the way this is my Great-great grandfather. I'm still trying to figure out how to link this to my profile.

The town is actually Glaslough in Scotland (not glasslough - without the double s). I visited the town about 18 years ago. I walked to the cemetery to see the ancestors graves. Whilst on a bus I spoke with a group of old people . They said they knew of one remaining McKay relative who had stayed in Glaslough but died about 20 years ago. Another lady she said she had a 'map' of the graveyard because it was difficult to find the graves because they were covered in Moss. My Father went to visit these graves about 30 years ago and he found them. I also walked to a neighboring town and was advised that the church had been built by them - also a bridge in Monaghan. I will try to find out more specific information.
