can anyone help me find information on the Wilson family who lived in Cambridge Massachusetts 1940?

Question

I am looking for information on my father's long lost family.   I found a 1940 census with James, Mona and young James age 5.  The son who was born around 1935.   This has been a long hard road for my father and I would love to help him learn about his family .  Thank you

Comments

James and Mona are ancestors. Is James who was 5 in 1940 also a direct ancestor or would it be another child?

There is a cemetery record in Peabody, Essex, MA for a James R Wilson who died in 1943.

James r is the son.  The last anyone saw him was in Cambridge in 1962.  I know he liked to be called Jimmy.  I know he liked to wear hats.  He worked as a dishwasher at Bickfords around 1961.  He would go between Boston and Rhode Island.   My aunt remembers his face.  Says my father looked like him.
