Hi  :)

I see that they married in 1912 in Lochmaben. 

You could download the full certificate  from Scotlands People for 6 credits and find his age and parents .

Margaret Rae, other name Easton, aged 28,  died in Lochmaben in 1909 so I think that this is the William Rae.

This looks like his birth from the IGI

Lochmaben 6 Aug 1874 - William Rae
Parents  - Robert Rae and Jemima Cameron


Names fit with the children on the 1901
