 Hi

There was Hampton House, Industrial School, Balmoral Ave, Belfast sometimes referred to as Victoria Homes.  I found relatives listed in an Industrial School through the 1911 census for Co Antrim just via their names.

Hope this is of help.

Audrey.

Think Hampton House on Balmoral Ave. was a Protestant School and fairly certain that Nazareth Lodge was run by Catholic nuns.
There's a list of 'benevolent institutions' in Belfast (1880) here (link suggested earlier):
