Nicholas Arthur Colohan was born in Enniskillen on August 12th 1884 to Nicholas Whistler and Lizzie Colohan. The family moved to The Villa opposite the Crescent in Galway. He may have been tutored at home as his family were reasonably wealthy. There are no records of him attending either the Presentation or the Jesuit primary schools. The earliest record of him in education relates to his first year in secondary education in the Bish. As a pupil, he was far from impressive and this prompted his parents to send him to Mungret College Limerick as a boarder and there he finished his secondary education.
