Surnames: Prisby Przybysiewski,,.Wysoski......Sienska
I always knew my dad as Alexander Prisby(Przybysiewski) Polish spelling..Looking in census and information I acquired found he was born as William in 1907,Alexander said he was born in 1908 in Ipswich Massachusetts to Adam & Antonia Przybysiewski.
In reviewing him I found in the census a William but no Alexander,He was called Willie by his family but said he didn't know why....William appeared in the census up to 1920,after 1920 there is no William or Alexander,,in 1930 there is Alexander in the army .His mother is listed as Antonina Sienska in the census but I found from his social security application his mother is listed as a Alexandera Wysoski......I was told family were not allowed to ask about him.
Please any help as to how I can find out more or anything would be greatly appreciated....Also retained birth certificate for William,no certificate found for Alexander ..HELP!!!!!!

I found the attached index - to show you how the name was index in the Mass Births at familysearch.org and I've also attached the actual document.

This is for a child born to Adam and Antonia in Ipswich in 1907 - I could not find a birth for William or Alexander.

What census did you find Antonina Sienska? I could not. Did find that last name on births.

Did you ever find when Adam and Antonia died?

As far as him being called Willie - it's a nickname, and his mother listed wrong on his soc sec - he may not have remembered what her last name was and took a wild guess.

This is the link to the Ipswich Library - http://www.ipswichlibrary.org/archives/guides/obituary-index

I found an Adam PRZYBYSZEWSKI died Jan 6 1949 - obit on Page 3

Maybe you could email library and see if they could send you the notice or email town clerk and see if she will give you info from death cert or you would have to go to Mass Vitals and look at certificate yourself. Thinking it might have wife's maiden name - but that info would only be as good as what the informant knew.

I did not find wife's death notice.

Margaret

Edited: On the 1940 Census - William's brother Stephen(b 1893 Russia) is in Ipswich - last name is Prisby.
I've attached Stephen's marriage so you could see spelling of his mother's maiden name.

Here's the 1920 Census for William and his family - I don't know where you got Alexander - maybe you were looking at the wrong family.

Stephen definitely married Francis - so I know this is correct.
