No, Edinburghshire is Midlothian.

It is one of five counties which were, for a century or so, known by the names of their county towns with '-shire' tacked on until their traditional ancient names were restored by Act of Parliament in 1928

The others are West Lothian (Linlithgowshire), East Lothian (Haddingtonshire), Angus (Forfarshire) and Moray (Elginshire).
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.
