I have very little to go on, but I just found my ggg grandmother was married (in Yonkers NY)a second time to Patrick Flynn.
I know he was born, according to the information I have, in 1817, in Waterford. I believe he immigrated in 1847. I don't know his parents names.
I realize this is very little information, but if anyone has a Patrick Flynn in their family; perhaps those dates may match?

Sherrie,
It is likely that they remained in Yonkers after their wedding, so I would suggest you check the census records from that period.
Also, Yonkers maintained their own bmd records prior to 1914, and genealogical copies are available through the City Clerk. See https://goo.gl/LbYqEG. The 2 page form to request copies is at http://www.yonkersny.gov/home/showdocument?id=3254
The basic cost per record is $22, but if you have to search more than 3 years, the cost can be much more.
