Kinsella who was born , lived and died in NYC.

Margaret,
Please help me understand--Sarah Jane O'Brien married John L. Kinse? or John L. Kinsella? If it was Kinsella that is a unique surname, actually either one is unique. Were there any spelling variations on John's surname? 1877 is a fairly good time to find records in New York City. Have you checked NYC's Catholic parish records on FindMyPast.com?
Also, have you tried Sarah Jane O'Brien's passenger lists from Ireland to NYC? https://www.familysearch.org/search/record/results? https://stevemorse.org/ellis/free.html?port=1849782
Obviously, her name is common, but I would create a spread sheet of all the people with her name and note all the families that traveled with her. Then, you can see if you can find another possible record to see if you can match the names. Tedious, but necessary with common surnames.
Many possibilities, but they may all be a bit challenging.
Good luck!
