Staten Island, New York wow that is a tough one. Let's see, by any chance is the last name something that can be easily identifiable. If so, you might check each county for New York for deaths and births. Staten Island means there is a possibility that some of them lived or died in New Jersey. Religion - if they were catholic the New York Catholic society may be able to help you. Same if they were Jewish. I was born Catholic, lived in a large city, but regionally everything birth, death, first communion, etc. went to the arch dies(can't spell), but you know what I mean.
No other suggestions. If it is a common name, you probably will have a problem. My mother's maiden name was Rice, her father and two aunts drowned in a boating accident in Rumford, Maine in the summer of 1945 (I can't find a lick of information about them anywhere) and believe I've tried. Rumford is a small town, no local paper back then (nothing in county or state records). New York should be different, but its scary because it is such a large city and the records could be anywhere.
