Hi lawrenceb,
Is this his birth? It's an extracted entry from the IGI.
William Cumming, b. 30th November 1861 Old Machar - mother Margaret Cumming
There is an earlier birth for a William Spence Cumming in 1857, but he was the son of Thomas Cumming and Mary Jack.

Hi ev,
I'm glad you've found him! I checked everywhere and had no luck ... think I need a refresher's course in census results. 
Pretty sure I've found him in 1901 with wife and children. Note daughter Maggie C. - likely Cumming as her middle name.
Address: Fern Cottage, Newhills, Aberdeenshire
William Spence, head, mar., 38, granite quarry worker, b. Old Machar
Annie Spence, wife, mar., 31, -, b. Old Machar
Maggie C. Spence, dau., unm., 12, scholar, b. Newhills
William Spence, son, unm., 5, scholar, b. Newhills
Jeannie S. Spence, dau., unm., 4, -, b. Newhills
Flora B. Spence, dau., unm., 2, -, b. Newhills

Some info on the children from 1901:

Jeanie Sutherland Spence (b. 1897 Newhills) died 1970 at Bucksburn, aged 72. Her married name was Lumsden.
Flora Barclay Spence (b. 1898 Newhills) died 1965 at Aberdeen (South. Dist.), aged 66. Her married name was Kemp.
William will be harder to find, but there's a possible in 1961, aged 65.
