Maybe you already have the information. I am trying to find the death record for Martin's mother - Mary A. Kearney/Carney. She was living with her son, Michael Kearney in New York in 1897-1899. I cannot locate her after 1899. I will go sometimes in June to San Francisco/Sutro Library. They have all the city directories on film. Will see if I can locate where she lived, with whom, and how long. I will also write to the St. Peter's Church in Haverstraw. They have a number of records. Michael Kearney (father) was naturalized by 1875, based on the New York State census -1875. I appreciate all the information that you have shared so far. Here is a web site for Rockland County. http://www.localarchives.org/newcitylibrary/SearchPage.aspx?searchtext=Kearney&folderid=895 You can find great information there as well, and also in the National Archives-Newspapers. There are a number of Chicago papers listed. I don't know where Michael Carney/Kearney married. Maybe he married Mary A. Leonad on the ship coming over. Maybe Mary A. Leonard was married before and Martin is her son and not the son of Michael. It states in the obituary that Michael Kearney came to Tomins Cove directly? Thanks again.
