McKINLAY came to South Africa around 1905 with W HAWKE as co-winner of the competition for the University of the Cape of Good Hope, Cape Town (1905). He was born in Edinburgh. Details of his training are uncertain but he was in Sir Aston Webb's office at the same time as William HAWKE, possibly as a pupil. It was in Webb's office that McKINLAY and HAWKE successfully entered the competition for the University of the Cape of Good Hope, Cape Town, forming a career-long partnership of almost forty years (cf HAWKE & McKINLAY). He married Clara Frances Beatrice Lawrence in Kalk Bay in the 1920s. He retired in 1943. Of interest is that Beatrice Lawrence's brother was Harry Lawrence, well-known in politics and from 1938 to 1948 a Cabinet minister. This entry was kindly corrected and updated, and the photograph supplied, by Jeremy Lawrence, son of Harry Lawrence.
