Hoped to have found a bit more but here are some bits and pieces-

In 1901 census there's a female listed as I McG, age 37, RC, born Belfast, single in the Workhouse- https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Antrim/St__George_s_Ward_Belfast/Lisburn_Road/966799/ Could this be the mother Isabella?
1. ? Thomas McGlinn (1881 Belfast)

Other than possible entry in 1901 census there is no sure sighting of mother Isabella after birth of daughter Margaret in 1898. I can't find any marriage or death for her from 1898-1921 Irish Genealogy). I then continued searching for a death after 1921 on PRONI and found her death! (I downloaded the registration so contact me if you'd like a copy)
13 Nov.1932 at 51 Lisburn Rd., Belfast, Isabella McGlynn, late of Vere Street, spinster, age 78, millworker, chronic bronchitis certified, informant Isabella Cullinan daughter in attendance 3 Ypres Park Whiteabbey.
This puts Isabella's born about 1854 but may not be accurate.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Thanks aghadowey & all other contributors.
Thanks especially for the Isabella McGlynn death cert. If you can send it to me that would be fabulous.
One Question at this point. Do you think McGlynn was Isabella's birth name or by marriage?

Isabella McGlynn never married and all her children were illegitimate. If you send me your email address by PM I can send you copy of death registration as well as the misc. notes I gathered up (some turned out to be other McGlynn families).

I found the Baptism of Margaret's mother. She was known as Isabella McGlenon, baptised in Downpatrick 9 May 1856. DNA ties in with her sister Elizabeth who married Patrick Brunton in Belfast. The McGlenon name became McGlinn in Elizabeth's case.

Now for the hard part - find Margaret's father. Relying on DNA. Wish me luck.
