Carol, I think the first thing you need to do is to determine where in NYC they lived. Then you can go to your local library at look at a directory of Catholic Churches for NYC. There is a book and the title escapes me at the moment that will give you the dates of origin of the church, etc. I had to do this to find an ancestor in Manhattan. Don't assume anything. I also have two Catholics who were married in a Methodist church in lower Manhattan. Maybe she was pregnant? In another instance a cousin sent me a marriage record and when I contacted the church for a baptismal record, I also received a marriage record which gave a different date. She too was already pregnant. So, just keep digging and good luck.
