Hi Pearlite
If either of both of them survived until after 1855, looking for their deaths on Scotlands People would likely confirm the parents' names, provided the death informant knew them. Agnes would be the best one to start with as you can use both surnames to look for her.
If you can find them on any census (1851 or after, the 1841 does not give places of birth), that should give some idea of the place of birth for them both, which should help you in your search.
Best wishes
Lesley

Later census records show Agnes was born at Kirkintilloch, Dunbarton around 1806/8. She died in 1868 so a look at her death entry, like Lesley said, should hopefully show her parents names.

Annette
