bullet  General Notes:

John Hastie McGinty was born in 1859 in Hatters Close, Edinburgh. He is recorded as the son of William McGinty (general labourer) and Margaret McGinty (ms Archman [also recorded as Archibald in various documents]) with the birth being registered by Aunt Janet Hastie. In the census of 1861, at 2 Hatters Close, Edinburgh, is the one year old John Hastie (no McGinty) with his mother Margaret Hastie (Head of the family, widow and occupation Shoebinder) and a number of half-siblings. Margaret is the widow of Thomas Hastie, Shoemaker. John's father William McGinty is recorded as living at Hatters Close, Edinburgh in the Valuation Roll of 1865-66.

William McGinty (Cartwright/Army Pensioner) appears to have had children with Elizabeth Weir in 1848 and 1861 so John being born in 1859 would suggest two-timing! However, the stating of ages at the time of census or death is not always very accurate so his daughter, who is recorded as dying in 1868 aged 7, may actually have been older and conceived before William had a relationship with Margaret Archman/Archibald.

John is with his father William McGinty (Cartwright) and half-brother William McGinty (Typefounder), at 4 Campbells Close, Edinburgh in the 1871 census. At the time of his death in hospital in 1885 he is described as a Coal Carter who lived Canonmills, Edinburgh. His father William registered the death.
