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

That would be consistent with the entry I found for Maryanna Dairutis in post#7
'Maryanna Dairutis aged 20 yrs, (b.abt 1888) ethnicity Russian, single, residence Slabadu, leaving Hamburg 28 Mar 1908, arr. Grimsby on the 'Staveley' (English flag)

Slabada or even Slabadai looks promising co's that last place Slabadu googled in the philipenes but this seems to be in Lithuania

[Mary from Italy]

This is interesting:

IGNOTAS m Lithuanian
Variant form of Ignacijus, which is the Lithuanian form of Ignatius. This name is not to be confused with Ignotus.

So the farmer's real name could actually be Ignotas.

Slabadu is a café in the Philippines, so you can forget about that! Slabada and Slabadai are both in Lithuania, but about 50km apart.

When I looked up Slabadu in Lithuania, all the above variants were given.....so not restricted to the Philippines

lol That's not helpful given Slabada and Slabadai seems to be different places some distance apart - if they are all name variants for each other how does the postman cope?!!

even seen it could have been a Harry Potter character

not been ignoring; have been down under these last few weeks but now have extra info. i.e. official death form of alexander (formerly aleksander) Mitchell (formerly Micilius) widowed d.o.b. 17/9/1886 95 years old died in Belvidere hospital,glasgow 1982; usual residence- 49 Glamis Road,glasgow. married also to a Barbara Katkate ((64 years old) 3/8/1951 she died in 1954 then there's a marriage to a Magdaline Pocavice (70 years old) 16/12/1955; no death date for magdaline or any news of Mary Dairutis after 1923 but believe that's as far as I can get
