As a tug boat captain, maybe he did not die in NY, perhaps NJ.? Or maybe check to see if there a Tugs records to see if they have noted it somewhere. I know I was going thru RR records & saw where they noted deaths & causes of employees. Maybe check the NJ State Archives or go to RAOGK , (Random Acts Of Genealogy Kindness) website & find a volunteer to look it up for you. Maybe the tug co records will tell you where they tugged to help in your search. Sometimes tugs went all the way to the Bahamas etc. Lots of maybes, but just my thoughts.

From his obitiuary and death certificate I learned he lived in the Greenpoint neighborhood of Brooklyn for some 30+ years. He married Bridget Clarke, was a ferry boat Captain for the NY and Brooklyn Ferryboat Co., His children were baptised and his funeral Mass was from St. Anthony of Padua.Both he and Bridget and their children are buried in Calvary cemetery.From bank records he states he arrived in N.Y in 1846 from Coolkeeragh townland, Co. Tyrone,Ireland. His father is Thomas,dead 14 years(making DOD ca. 1837), his mother is Rose Mullin. He has sisters, Ellen, Ann(Rosanna), and Catherine. Brothers, Michael,Joseph and Charles. Brother Michael came to NY in 1859, married Ann Clarke, died 1886. Both he and Ann are buried in Calvary.In a bank record for Michael his brother John is listed as executor. Questions, please.. No death certificate nor will has been found for Michael.Where beside Surrogate court and the Municiple Archives would I look for these documents? No death certificate for Bridget Martin d.1894,, Michael Martin d.1886 nor Michaels wife Ann d.1885, has been found. Where beside the usual sources would I look? No Naturalization papers found through Ancestry.com records.Where else to search? I would like to connect with descendants there in N.Y. and elsewhere. Other names connected with this family are.. McMullin, O'Hare , McCormick ,Houlihan, McKenna/McKenny, Britt. Any suggestions appreciated..Thanks _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail: Free, trusted and rich email service. http://clk.atdmt.com/GBL/go/201469228/direct/01/ ====NY-Irish Mailing List==== Don't forget to check out the NY-Irish mailing list website.
