They left Lithuania in 1904/1905 for Scotland. they had one daughter Marcela. two girls were born in Scotland, Elizabeth and Jessie. They moved to America in December 1920.
Because the different ways the last name was spelled, it seems impossible to find any information about them. Bellshill Midlothian listed on their passport books.
I have been to Salt Lake City to the Family History Center without any luck, even with the help of one of the volunteers. There has to be some records. they were Roman Catholcs.
Marcela worked in a shirt factory when she was about 16 years old before they came to America.

Hi,
Firstly, you have to take into account that your ancestors were illiterate.
Since I don't know what you are searching for, I can only help with lihuanian surname spelling. In your case you have the correct lithuanian surname transcriptions, but you are probably reading them wrongly:
1.Mockevičius M-o (like moss)-ts (tsar)-k-e (like elk)- vi (like victor)-ch-ius (iu- sound is paralel to german umlaut).
2.Lithuanian surnames have feminine and masculine forms, so Mockevičius - husband, Mockevičienė - wife, Mockevičiūtė - unmarried daughter.
3. Try polish spellings too, like Mackiewitz, Mackiewicz and similar.
4.Marcela-Marcelė, and Elizabeth and Jessie are not lithuanian names.
