    Highly likely. There are pubs all over the place called the Edinburgh Castle.

        Gore's Directory of Liverpool, 1911 shows two Edinburgh Castle pubs.
        Edinburgh Castle, John McDonald, 1 Boundary st. and 91 Regent road, N
        Edinburgh Castle, John Richd. Hibbet, 206 Gt.Homer st N

          thanks for that uncle john. my two new cousins are adamant that our g.dad was born in edinburgh castle, but there is no trace of him whatesover with his family, there is also nothing for him or his family on all 1901 census'.

          from the information that I have found with other help, I feel he was the one born in w.derby, his sister was born at 10 church flags, walton on the hill, and Im thinking its maybe not the real edinburgh castle they were told it was. but in a public house called the edinburgh castle, does this make any sense.?
