Hi Bob, Keep in mind, just because it says "New York" doesn't necessarily mean New York City.

My family was always in NYC, yet when my dad died, we found out my parents married in Elkton, MD. People used to call it "Marry-land" because you could drive there from NY and get married right away, no blood tests, nothing. We also found out after he died that they married the year AFTER they always said. My mom was pregnant with my brother! Might be worth checking other parts of NY as already suggested, or other states. - Irene
