I was hoping to find birth or baptism records back in Ireland.

Birth registrations began 1864 in Ireland. Registration of marriages except those which happened in Catholic churches began 1845. Registration of marriages in R.C. churches began 1864. Death registrations began 1864.
 Irish Genealogy ie is the free & official website for BMD information.  You have to sign in each time you use it and prove you're not a robot. https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/en/ It also has transcriptions of some church registers but none from County Armagh.

Many Church of Ireland registers were destroyed a century ago during the Irish Civil War. Copies of some exist. 
List of these, arranged A-Z by parish: Church of Ireland Registers Parish Registers Table
https://www.ireland.anglican.org/about/rcb-library/list-of-parish-registers  The list has been amended & republished several times in past 5 years so check publication date.

Sarah Ann Adamson born about 1831 Tullylish, Northern Ireland?

The state called Northern Ireland was founded 100 years ago when Ireland was partitioned. Ireland consists of 4 provinces. Ulster, the northerly province contains 9 counties. 6 Ulster counties formed Northern Ireland. Sarah Ann was born about 90 years before Northern Ireland was born.
Information about records for Northern Ireland is under "Genealogy" tab on Irish Genealogy Toolkit.
