Mary Jane would have missed the 191 Irish census if she went to Boston in 1890. The U.S. census was taken in 1890 but doesn't survive.
She may have stayed in Boston or gone elsewhere upon arrival, married, etc. Have you tried using Family Search for clues? Many U.S. states recorded names of parents for marriage and death certificates so you could also try searching U.S. records with those names. Exact date of birth might also help locate Mary Jane.

There was a Mary Jane McClelland born 1869 in Coleraine- parents Robert & Sarah-

The only Mary McClelland birth in Ireland in 1864 is a Mary Ann born Londonderry registration district.

You can only post a small portion of the certificate for deciphering purposes but Kiltaglassan has posted the link to the registration you found.
How do you know this registration is for Mary Jane since her name is not listed? Do you have a baptismal record, school record or other document to confirm that Mary Jane was actually born on that date? (age in a passenger manifest is not proof) otherwise she could have been born shortly before 1864 (so no birth registration) and you might have found a sibling instead.

 thank you Kiltaglassan you have the right one.

I contacted the church and they gave me her name. I had found a Mary J leaving castle rock in 1890 for Boston but had not been able to find any thing more. I have tried to find the web site again with out any luck. Although I did see a Mary in find my past at the local library arriving  12 May 1890 Boston. I was unable to go any further with that site.

There's a Mary McClelland who went to Boston, arriving 11 May 1890.  https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QV51-VSBX?lang=en  The actual passenger list doesn't give any other useful information.  It could be her, but it doesn't specify a middle name or initial.
