“Going through that process of hypnosis, I found that the (memories) were all of a sudden right at the top of my mind again. I couldn’t (ignore) them any more, I couldn’t leave it, wait, be patient, I had to do something (straight away), and that something was to go back to Ireland, and walk through the streets.” But Jenny had kids of her own to take care of and money was tight. It took nine years but finally in June 1989, she travelled to Malahide, ten miles northeast of Dublin. First, she found the (jetty), then she spotted the small Catholic Church she believed she had (attended). And after searching through a field of rubble, she found the (ruins) of the cottage where she remembered living as Mary. Everything was exactly what it should have been (according to) her childhood maps.
“It was great walking back through Malahide after all that time, and finding my way around, (recognizing) things, knowing where I was. Ur, I had a map, didn’t need it. It was, I knew I was coming home.” Jenny’s search was just beginning, she learned that a woman named Mary had in fact lived in the cottage, and her last name was Sutton. When Mary died in the 1930s, her children were sent to (orphanages), Jenny guessed some of them must still be alive. She was (determined to) find them. (Haunted throughout) childhood by memories of another person’s life, Jenny Cockell came to believe she was the (reincarnation) of Mary Sutton--a young Irish woman who died in 1932, leaving behind eight children. Using these memories as her guide, Jenny located the village of Malahide where Mary had lived. Now she was determined to find Mary’s children.
“I was very bothered about getting it absolutely right because I wanted to make sure if I found this family, that it was the family that I remembered.” Jenny was determined, she placed ads in local newspapers, and wrote to all the areal orphanages, and anyone bearing the last name Sutton. Finally, her (persistence) paid off. Jenny was able to locate Mary’s marriage license, and the children’s baptismal (records).
“The whole time I think I was concerned about how I was going to (approach the family), so I realized that I was going to get to the (point) where I was going to find them. And I was quite concerned about how I was going to approach them. Whether I had a new right to approach them, because (obviously) I see it, I have the memories of being their mother. I turn up, I mean in a different body, but I have the memories of their mother.”
