Wow, you're all going too fast for me, by the time I reply, there's loads more info.
Thank you everyone, I just have to take a minute and read through all the replies.

Now I'm confused, is his wifes name Ann or Janet? Ann is quite a bit older than Finlay, (16 years) he must like older women lol.

This looks like his daughter Catherine although the DOB is wrong the children match the US 1910 census
