There were a few hairdressers on the crumlin rd, but I think McGintys was the one down the rd fom Holy Cross, and on the same side.

Pajamo was there one down near Leopold St

There was a barber shop on the corner
of Butler St and Crumlin Road. The name
McGinty sounds familar.

Correct, there was one at Butler and Crumlin, directly opposite the steps to Holy Cross, and I am certain there was one close to Leopold St, I can picture a Barbers pole, you know the red and white spiral type.

I've just read your posting about McGinty Hairdresser, Crumlin Rd. Sorry some years later.

BUT:
I have a Memory Card for Elizabeth McGinty, 386 Crumlin Rd., who died on 22nd January 1968 aged 70 yrs.  It also has a photo on it.
My Mother was friendly with Mrs. McGinty.

I hope you read this some time and I can let you see the photo.

Hi Molly77, I am John McGinty's grandson, my mum was Elizabeth. I remember staying at Grandad's barbershop in Crumlin Rd and latterly sharing a room with him when he stayed with us in the UK. I would love to touchbase with you and share information.

Hi Molly77, apologies but for some reason i can't reply to your personal message. Do you want to friend me on Facebook and we can continue via messenger? Regards John Wilding

Molly77, just Google his address and see what comes up. When I left Belfast in 1951 we lived just off Leopold street and I remember a barber's shop next to the pawnbrokers in Whitewell Road just down from Leopold St. Good luck, looks like you are hitting pay-dirt, keep digging. Balfor.

Molly77. WHOOPS. sorry for that. I said Whitewell Road, I meant "Just around the corner of Leopold Street on The Crumlin Road". sorry for that. Balfor.
