Antrim / Mary Nolan/Jack Nolan/Jane Jewell

Looking for information on my great great grandmother Mary Kathleen Nolan. She was born August 14 either 1875 or 1877 in Belfast. Her parents were Jack Nolan and Jane Jewell. She was eleven when she sailed to Canada on an unknown ship with an uncle, leaving behind her parents and six siblings (unknown names). She was a member of the Church of England (at least that's what her obituary said- she would listen to radio broadcasts of the Church of England).
I've done all the searching I can do and I've never been able to find this family. I do know there were three Mary Catherines born around this time, but they were in County Carlow. What I can see of these documents doesn't list the parents so I am unable to rule them in or out, and it's pretty expensive to order documents if I'm unsure they are the correct ones.
I was beginning to wonder if she was born in another county, but every document I have lists Belfast as her birth place. It is on her marriage and death certificates. On two separate census records she lists "Northern Ireland" as her place of birth.
I have been told before that I am out of luck with the limited information I have but I am having a hard time just giving up.
Thanks.
