Jurgis (George) moved to Scotland sometime by 1900 because he married his wife, Katrina Vaitkunas, on Aug 11, 1900 at St. Joseph's Church in the Parish of Blantyre in the county of Lamark in Scotland.
He was a coal miner from 1901 to 1906 in Scotland.
Jurgis and Katrina had three children: Opalionia (later Pauline and then Polly), Katrina and Andrew "Heinzie." Polly and Andrew immigrated to the United States with their mother, Katrina, and aunt Veronica in 1909.
The child, Katrina, died just shy of her third birthday in September 1906 (and only months after her father died) after suffering two days from Catararrhal laryngitis. She is buried with her father in this cemetery.
He died of chronic nephritis (kidney disease) on March 16, 1906.
He is listed in this cemetery as Jurkis Pukas and was buried 19th March 1906, aged 23 years.
The lair (or plot) actually contains 9 interments from 1907 to 1918, which are all children under the age of 3 years (except for Jurgis Pukas), but not sure how they all are related yet. There is no record of a headstone and a researcher who visited the cemetery confirmed that.
Names of those buried together are:
1. Jurgis Pukas (memorial here)
2. Katinra Pukas (his daughter)
3. Katrina Waitkunas interred on 10 October 1908. This is a child of Jurgis and Ona Waitkunas (they are Katrina Vaitkunas Pukas' aunt and uncle so Petrone would be her cousin)
4. Petrone Waitkunas interred on 29 July 1907. This is another child of Jurgis and Ona Waitkunas (they are Katrina Vaitkunas Pukas' aunt and uncle so Petrone would be her cousin)
5. Alexander Waitkuns likely a Waitkunas/Vaitkunas; aged 1 year interred 14/7/1910 - not sure how this child is related. Possibly another child of Jurgis and Ona Waitkunas
6. Jonas budris interred on 21 October 1908. This is a child of Juozas (Joseph) Budris, who is somehow a cousin to Katrina Vaitkunas Pukas
7. Selerka Masinauskas interred 29 March 1918. aged 3 years
8. Petras Masinauskas (or Masuanckus) aged 10 months interred 21/6/1912
9. Aneha Masinauskas; aged 1 year interred 4/12/1913
it is not clear how the last three children are related yet.
