Genealogy / Polish equivalent of "Jessie"? [48]

I was merely trying to determine if the name I have for her- "Jessie", could have been a nickname or short for something else, because I'm at a brick wall. The only information I was actually given about her from my uncle was the name "Jessie Dorobiala". I found her in the 1930 census as Jessee Dorobiala. SSDI Jessie Dorobiala. Obituary Jessie (nee Kamrowski) Dorobiala. But I have been unable to find a marriage license, or any earlier census records with that name. The only Kamrowski girl of the correct age listed on the 1910 or 1920 census is Ceslawa/Czesława, I just wanted to know if that was a possibility or if I'm really just missing something lol. Thank you all for your responses, I think for now I will assume that that is her, and keep looking for more proof to back it up :)

Genealogy / Polish equivalent of "Jessie"? [48]

My uncle told me that his grandmother (my great-grandmother)'s first name was Jessie. I have found her on one census after she was married as Jesse, and her obituary also as Jessie. But I am trying to find her on a census as a child, to determine who her parents were and trace the line back further. The only possible match that I can find is a Ceslawa (how the census taker spelled Czesława I'm guessing)...could Jessie or Jesse be an 'anglicized' nickname for Czesława? Or if not what would be an equivalent Polish name that I should be looking for?
