Hi Karen

Suspect your best bet might be to obtain their death certs.which will hopefully have parents names recorded.

Doing a free search on Scotland's People for Elizabeth Smith,other surname McQueen there is a possible death in Dumfries in 1884 (age 58). Cannot thus far see an obvious death for John. (I have only located them in the 1881 census - have you found them in previous censuses as there might be clues there?).
