Voluntary Hospital by H. G. Calwell, M.A., M.D.
The History of the Royal Belfast Hospital
for Sick Children 1873 to 1948
Queen Street 1879-1932
no copyright in the book but it was printed in 1973 and Mr. Calwell
worked hard to compile this
and you can still buy it online at various places so I've just summarised
with a few photos and lists of names,
I also added the Contents page so you can see what's in the full book.

me, but that hath lighted a candle to the place.' Donne, Infinitati sacrum.
