It's certainly a possibility. Writing is poor but her residence address looks to be Skeach [sic], and her father Le(o)nard a farmer.

Just to note, a John Boston of Tullindoney died in 1900 at a reported age of 92, possibly a brother or cousin of Leonard?  (Added: later post indicates brother)

From a transcription of Dromore (Church of Ireland) Parish records, a 78 year old John Boston of Tullindoney died or was buried on 17 February 1857.

An Elizabeth Boston died at Tullindoney on 13 January 1875 at a reported age of 92, described as a widow of the farming class, the informant present at death was John Boston of that address:

From transcription of Dromore (Church of Ireland) Parish records, a James Boston was born on 31 May 1806 to John Boston and Elizabeth 'McAriston' of 'Lisnacurren', and was baptised the next day.  The same couple with that same address had a son John baptised on 25 April 1808 (looks like the John at my reply #13), also a son William baptised on 5 June 1813 (born 1 June) and a daughter Ann baptised on 23 June 1816 (born 11 June).  The Diocesan and Prerogative Marriage Licence Bonds Indexes include an entry in 1805 under the Diocese of Down, Connor & Dromore for a John Boston and Elizabeth 'McCaniston':

Added: In relation to what her surname is, the tithe applotment books show the following entries around Dromore town:

McCariston, Jno. Townland: Marabeg Year: 1834
McCarriston, Alexr. Townland: Islanderry Year: 1834
McCarriston, Arthur Townland: Ballyvicknakelly Year: 1834
McCarriston, Richd. Townland: Quilly Year: 1834
McCarriston, Wm. Townland: Ballynaris Year: 1834

For example, Ballyvicknacally:
