There is a birth registration for a Mary Moorhead but in Killinchy county Down about 14 miles from Newtownards, as the mothers name is not given I am not 100% sure if this is the correct Mary but dates , names and area are a match.

Name: Mary Moorhead
Gender: Female
Baptism Date: 6 Jun 1828
Baptism Place: Presbyterian, Killinchy, Down, Ireland
Father's Name: John Moorhead
