If its information on Elizabeth Terrel then the best thing would be to get her death certificate which will give her parents names if known ...Maybe best to say what you already have on the family and what you are still looking for ...To save people searching for information you already have :)

Elizabeth Terrel (I have her as Tirrel) was christened 28 June 1823 in Rayne, Aberdeenshire. She died 15 Feb 1902 at 12 Thistle Street, Aberdeen' Her death entry gives her parents as Robert Tirrel and Christian Gordon. The informant was Mary Fraser (Frater?), daughter. 62 John Street, Aberdeen.
She had a daughter Helen ca 1846 in Auchterless, by Joseph Napier. Helen must have stayed on good terms with her father, as he was one of the witnesses when she in turn married.
Subsequently Elizabeth married John Mackenzie on 9 Dec 1847 in Auchterless. They had at least three children, mentioned in a post above as listed in the 1851 census, which is as far as I checked the family.
