Hi Tiffaney

Have you searched for the parents's deaths on Scotlands People www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk If they remained in Scotland it would be possible to locate the deaths and find their parents in turn. Ancestry and Scotlands People also have the censuses.

As an example,I have found the death of a George Munro, aged 79, in 1873. The only George Munro listed in Lairg.
