I also found several further entries in the Glasgow poor books connected to the Kisielius name, including this one: Mariona Zatareckaite / Kisieliene. I'm, as yet, uncertain if she is connected to the family, but there a some things that make me think it is possible. First, she lived at 54 Rose Street. Second, her mother's name was Marianna Adomaityte, which could mean that she was related to Konstantinas Adomaitis (the first husband of Marijona Kisieliute).
Her 1917 application for poor relief states that her husband, Antanas Kisielius "died about 11 years ago in Russia". She had married him "about 15 years ago in Russia". In the residences section it says "about 6 years from Russia", which I take to mean that she arrived in Scotland in 1911. Does she turn up on the census? Who is she with?
There was no Antanas Kisielius listed in the immediate family group on this 1938 death certificate. So that could mean he was more distantly related. Or that he wasn't listed because he was already deceased. Or it's also quite possible there's no connection at all!!
