tiffy   10 #3 Posted February 27, 2004 http://www.hmc.gov.uk/nra/searches/SIdocs.asp?SIR=66990  http://web.ask.com/web?q=st+agatha%27s+mother+and+baby+home+in+sheffield+uk&o=0&qsrc=0  On this second link you'll have to scroll down to the web results section and if you look at the second entry 'database 8' it has some reference to a St Agatha's - there's also a contact link on the bottom of the page.  Hope this sheds some light on things.
