How good Is NY Death Cert. Data?

I am having some challenges with my Doherty/Brennan line....maybe some of
you can suggest something that will work.

1) I received the Death Certificates for William Doherty in Utica (1911)
and the obits. According to the Death Certificate for William, he was born
in March 1847 in Hastings on the Hudson NY. State of NY vitals has no
record of a William Doherty (or Daugherty or Dougherty) born at that time
or within a couple years of that time being born in Hastings-on-Hudson.
According to his obit from the Utica Observer says he was born after his
family (unnamed) came over from Dublin (no year).

I also had a nice person pull all the William Doherty's on an archieve of
birth CDs of U.S. No one even close to that date. No one in that
location. No one in another location with a close date.

Any Ideas on what to do next?
