Jim,

Do you know where in Canada they were married?  Depending on the place, it can be hard to find marriage records that far back.

Have you seen the Scotlands People website:

Can you give us more to go on? John's dob? his wife's dob? (even a guess would be helpful)

John's occupation and religion?

I checked 1871 online index to census records for Ontario and there are 3 John Rae born Scotland there, all different ages.

You can check for yourself if you think ONtario was where they md and settled. http://allcensusrecords.com/canada/ gets you there.

If they md in Ontario you might be in luck because civil reg started in 1869. Try Ontario Vital Stats Registration project (sorry I haven't got the URL handy, just google for it)
