I believe the Eglish parish Rolstons were related to my Drumcree parish Rolstons, probably branching off around 1700-ish. Both branches had the spelling of Ralston occasionally. Both branches are derived from the english Rolleston family from Rolleston in Staffordshire. So even though Armagh is close to Tyrone, you are unlikely to be descended of the Scots-Irish Ralstons of Tyrone and Donegal. I don't have any info on your Mary but she was born before the parish registers start, so you'll need to search for her through her married name. Have you searched the IGI, there are a lot of entries for Eglish parish. I don't know of any who went to Glasgow area in the 19th C.
Ken.
