Did she die in Scotland after 1855? If so, her death cert will give her parents' names.

she died in 1915,is it only by buying the death certificate you can find this out?

Probably, I am afraid. Did she die in Orkney? There is only one death for 1915 coming up for a Margaret Rendall but not with a previous surname of Seater.

You can download an image of the original entry from scotlandspeople. It is a pay-to-view site - £7 for 30 credits. It is one credit to view search results and 5 to view an image. Margaret's marriage should also be on there, also the births posted above. The images of the parish records may give a bit more info.
