If Jessie died in Scotland after 1855, when statutory registration began, then her death certificate (availablble from Scotlandspeople) will give the names of her parents including her mother's maiden surname if the informant knew the details.

Remember that in Scotland the name Jessie as well as being a name in its own right, can be a pet name for Janet.
