Can anyone help me with this Martin Coyne?

I am working on a Coyne line that possibly came from Clonber
Ireland to Carnegie, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania.

My Great Great Grandmother Bridgit Agnes Coyne immigrated from Ireland in 1905 with her brother Anthony Coyne. Shortly after arriving here she married Martin Andrew Welsh. Martin also was born in Ireland. The spelling of his surname varies. I believe it to be Walsh, but to have changed during immigration. Martin at the time of his immigration in 1904 spoke Gaelic. The name also appears in census records as Welch.

My family attended St. Luke's Catholic Church in Carnegie Pennsylvania. Most of them are buried in Mt. Olivet Cemetery, in Carnegie Pennsylvania. This past weekend I went to Mt. Olivet Cemetery to see if I could find some information there to help me. In the cemetery I found the grave of a Martin Coyne that had the dates b. 1842 d. 1922. I am assuming that this is a relation. His grave is located near the graves of Festus O'Toole with the dates of b. 1859 d. 1925; and Ellen O'Toole b. 1863 d.1933. It is unknown to me if O'Tooles relate to the Coyne's.
