Wow ... This is a tough one. I don't think it is Lithuanian. I think it is either a Polish or a Russian name very misspelled. John ... On what documents have you found these spellings?

Hi Tina, The name first showed up in the 1891 Census of England. A family of 5 with the name VAUCHGLANUS where living in Liverpool. Head of the family was William and where born says Russia (British Subject ), occupation was Tailor. They did have a Peter MIRICH staying with them also from Russia and also a Tailor. Then a birth record for one of his children born in 1890 says Margaret VOUCHYLUNAS and in 1912 when Margaret gets married the Certificate has the name VOUCH. I checked for Peter MIRICH in the 1901 census and he was now MIRISH and states POLISH (British Subject). All very confusing. Can you make sense of it all ?.

Would there be any citizenship papers? If there are and they give a place name where he was born, knowing that may help. With that, if there are records in Poland, you could possibly find his birth record. How about a record of death on him? That could give a place of birth also.
