Ancestry or freebmd would most probably give you the answer

Wigtownshire is in Scotland - so you need to look either on www.familysearch.org or www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk

If they died in Scotland after compulsory registration began, then their death certificates (again from Scotlandspeole) will give their parents names provided the information knew them.

Credits are £6 for 30 - 1 credit to view search results and 5 to view certificate.

There is 1 death for Elizabeth McCreadie with the other surname Crawford in Wigtown in 1879 - Sorry no credits at the moment to look at it.
