Any dates? any more details? ('Co. Down' is a fairly large area) The more information you can give us to start with the easier, and quicker, it is for us to help you.

There's an extracted birth for a child of a David Mack & Margaret Armstrong but the OP needs to provide additional details.

Aghadowey beat me to it, the familysearch.org lead, led me to noting

Ros Davies Co Down has a few entries for Mack’s of Annahilt

On the other hand the main David Mack who had land to farm in 1860’s was a David Mack living in Ballymacarn North in the civil parish of Magheradrool which adjoins Annahilt civil parish. Also in the civil parish is Ballynahinch itself.  Perhaps Margaret went to a church in Annahilt

Ros Davies website has details of church records and more see http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~rosdavies

https://www.emeraldancestors.com has
2 marriages
1887   David MACK m Priscilla MACK Downpatrick   Down   
1898   Thomas XXXXXX m Priscilla MACK Belfast   Antrim
So do supply more detail soon

Hi,
   In 1847 there will be no birth certificates as civil registration of births did not begin until 1864. I also think that 1847 and 1881 is an excessively long time between siblings... or have I misunderstood?

Just about to say that  :-\

Added- the only extracted Irish birth for David Mack & Margaret Armstrong is the one I posted earlier.
