Agnes Crosbie née Lynch (1877-19??) of Dumfries, Scotland.
JHynds
My great great grandmother Isabella "Maw"* Dickson (born Isabella Murray Lynch in 1877 in Dumfries) was raised by a mother called Marion Dickson living across the road from her mother.
Our Maw was born to a single mother Agnes Lynch; she was the daughter of Irish Catholic immigrants. Our Maw's mother baptised Maw when she was 7 at St. Andrew's RC Church while she was living with Marion. Agnes married a man called John Crosbie whom she remain married until his death in 1915.
Years later maw received a knock from a woman claiming to be her sister but she didn't know she had a sister; her sister told her her mum had just died. Maw's daughter (born 1926) was roughly 4 or 5 at the time making it the late 20s or early 30s.
My cousin and I haven't been able to locate a death record for Agnes Crosbie but we know she had passed before 1931 as her legitimate daughter with John listed her as deceased when she married in 1931.
*Maw is Scots for mum/mom.

I know that you say that Agnes was deceased according to the woman claiming to be her sister, but it could have been a mistake.
Wouldn't Isabella know about her sisters Robertina Lynch b1903 & Margaret Crosbie b1909??
On the 1931 marriage perhaps Margaret chose to put deceased on the details or the recorded listed both parents as deceased when in fact only one parent was. It has been known to happen.
