Notes for Elizabeth Jessie Rennie
This might be her marriage, two years after her father died:

Surname First name(s)     District Vol  Page
Marriages Sep 1893   (>99%)
Rennie     Elizabeth Jessie  Chorlton 8c 147
Schofield  Harry Brook       Chorlton 8c 1147
Tait       John              Chorlton 8c 1147
Wood       Charlotte Mary    Chorlton 8c 1147

Chorlton is in Lancs.

TFPL, Apr 2021: This was confirmed to be her marriage by the transcript from the church records by FamilySearch and which gave the names of the fathers of both parties.
________________

In 1891 there was an Elizabeth Rennie, born in Scotland, working as a servant in Chelsea, London.
________________

In 1881 she was with both her parents in Dumfries.

She was a residuary legatee in her father’s will of 1891; she was then stated to be residing at the Royal Hospital, Wigan.

I’v e not been able to find her under any of Rennie, Schofield or Tait surnames in the 1901 or 1911 censuses.

However I have found this death:
