This is her with her parents Thomas Lynch and Jane Balmer in 1861

Her brother Robert Lynch was born in 1865 and died in 1866.
I believe this is her with her husband in 1891

Id like to know if there were any more Lynch siblings or when her parents might have died but if I could find the family in 1871/1881 that might help me track the death certs.

No marriage on SP for them. Did you check Roberts birth details to establish mmn was Lynch?
1861 shows Mary was b 1857/58 but 1891 shows 1864

Yes, Parents names come from her death certificate.
-
What I meant is had you looked at her son Roberts birth cert on SP to confirm her maiden name was Lynch. It will also give parents place & year of marriage.
There is a 5yr age difference between 1861 & 1891 entries so how have you determined she is the same Mary from 1861?
Logically - you would assume she married James Kain in Scotland if the family remained there from 1861.
Their absence from the 1871 & 1881 censuses makes me wonder if they returned to Ireland.

I wonder if this is Mary, no sign of parents.
