Hi  Susieq, thank you, not long after I posted that I found the link, and his son Francis jnr,

             age 22        Francis O'Neill married 22/12/1897  to Mary Devlin age 17
             Cab driver   35 Cannongate                                  paper mill wkr   119 Cannongate,

I also got them in the 1901 census   Francis O'Neill  age 25  Hackney Carr driver
                                                              Mary     "        "20
                                                            Catherine "      "  2
                                                             Francis    "       "  9mts.
They were living at  1 Duncan's Close Cannongate.

No sign of the Finnies .

Margaret Finnie was my  GG-grandmother who was born in Leith 1854, and ended up in Glasgow,with her son Angus, who started off as Finnie,then Mackay, and finally Wilson.
