Hi and Welcome

Do you have the death cert?

She is given  as aged 91.  The  widow of John Rae, a grain merchant. Parents given as James Mclure, farmer and Margaret, MS Rae.

Informant was Eliza Rae, grand daughter

I see nothing on Scotlands People nor Family Search but they started having children in 1810 (Margaret) so I suspect they married around then.

Very sad that the OP hasn't been on the site since they posted the request. I wonder, as a newby, they've had notifications but are not quite sure how to answer.
