Looking for Vaiciunas

Hi, my gr grandfather who was Vincentius Vaiciunas from Lithuania came to London in the early 1900's, marrying my gr g'mother Annie Leary in 1907. (They Anglicised their name to be Whitejuness which was later shortened to White, my maiden name.)

They were married in the Lithuanian Church of St Casimir in East London and a very kind Father there translated their marriage certificate from the Latin. It listed his parents as Vincentius and Ursule Vaiciunas who were from the village Vaislaukis, parish Alvitas and diocese Senai in Lithuania (please excuse me if the spellings are Latin rather than Lithuanian).

I don't think that Vincentius travelled to the UK with any family, he died when he was 32, and my grandfather never spoke of any of his father's relatives over here - in fact he thought his Dad was Polish.

Does anyone out there have any info on the family from the details above, I would be really grateful if you could get in contact with me.

Best wishes
Suzanne
