Neither party could write, so their marks were witnessed. Mary's parents are said to be Ignotus Dairutis. 'Ignotus' may be Latin for 'Unknown', but can it also be a Lithuanian forename? He was a farmer and no indication he was deceased at the time of marriage, unlike Alexander's father. Mary's mother's maiden name was Rawlicki, forename Ona. All details as listed in post #9

I'd been following the 1908 line all along but found a possible brother of young Mary later for 1910 that's why Ignotus (farmer) stayed and now instead of Ona we've got Annie Dairutis nee Raulinatis @169 gt. Hamilton street glasgow

This is my transcription of the Antanas / Antanina marriage cert:

1910 Marriages in the district of Calton in the burgh of Glasgow
1910 18th Nov at St Mary's Chapel Glasgow, after publication according to the forms of the Roman Catholic Church

Wish I knew how Lithuanian naming conventions work. (I'm wondering here if 'Raulinatis' might be the Latinised version of Rawlicki). I am familiar with odd things happening to names in Irish records and wonder if the priest did a bit of name conversion on his own bat.

I can well see 'Ona' becoming 'Annie'.

Seems very likely to me, Bev.

Dubicki witnessed by Annie Mitchell

At last I understand what you mean about "given away by a Patrick Diamond". He was the minister who married them.

I would think that Ona Rawlicki is the same person as Annie Raulinatis.

This could be Antanas on the Hamburg Passenger Lists:

31 Oct 1903 the "Olivia" from Hamburg to London: Anton Dairuty, age 23, single, from Slabada (I think it says), intended destination Glasgow.

Found this death, though it won't help much:
Antonina Norkaitis death 1947 Gorbals, age 65, other surname Dairutis.

I've been trying to find Antanas and Antanina on the 1911 census but no luck yet. There is the birth of a Ggedeminas Dairutis in Calton, Glasgow, in 1911, with his name spelt Jedeminas on his death reg in 1967 Rutherglen (age 56). The death index doesn't show his mother's maiden name but he could be a son of Antanas and Antanina. Of course we don't know whether he was born before or after census night unless you look at his birth cert. I can't find him on the 1911 census either anyway!
