Title: Russian death record
Post by: rlw254 on Friday 26 January 18 19:07 GMT (UK)

I can normally extract the relevant info from these but this one's giving me a little trouble with the town name in Prussia that this man Jozef was from.

The town is likely close to Mlawa, probably over the Prussian border to the north in 1874. Personally I see 'Prileng' which could be something like Przyłęk phonetically. I don't see anything similar on a map.

Thanks for any help.

Sorry I can't help you but this will bring it back up the board for you.

Thank you. Right now I think that my best guess is Przełęk Duży which is not far to the northwest of Mlawa. It will be difficult to find records to prove this however.
