actually, Ancestry has it transcribed twice, and the correct parish is Sainte Anne.

Marriage Year: 1881
Marriage Location: Montréal, Québec (Quebec)
Religion: Church of England
Place of Worship or Institution: Saint Patrick


Can't identify any other records for the two sisters, or any further record for Stella/Estella, so unfortunately that ends up not helping very much ...

I think Lenie / Lessie in 1891 is Tessie, so probably Orasea in 1901 is Teresa.


Mary Theresa Odoud
in the Quebec, Canada, Vital and Church Records (Drouin Collection), 1621-1968
Name: Mary Theresa Odoud
Event: Baptême (Baptism)
Baptism Year: 1885
Baptism Location: Montréal, Québec (Quebec)
Religion: Church of England
Place of Worship or Institution: Saint Anthony of Padua

The baptism took place on 8th March.
The handwriting on the original is hard to decipher, but it does say that she was the daughter of Joseph O Dowd, carpenter, and Elizabeth Duley [ maybe mis-spelling of Dooley ? EDIT: No, I see Daley in JC's post above]. The godfather was Thomas Ryan, "the child's uncle". The godmother was Ellen Duley, wife of Thomas Ryan, "the child's aunt". "This act has been read to the father."

Ancestry suggests this is her below, but it may just be one of Ancestry's random guesses:

Theresa Sallie

Annie Hovid - sister-in-law (of James); name looks lik Howd - misinterpretation of O'Dowd ??



James Sallie
in the Canadian Passenger Lists, 1865-1935
Name: James Sallie
Gender: Male
Age: 25
Birth Year: abt 1881
Date of Arrival: 22 May 1906

Miss Theresa Sallie

Name: Miss Theresa Sallie
Gender: Female

Location: Montréal, Québec, Canada
Electoral District: Outremont-St-Jean
Address: 721 Champagneur.

Looks like Annie O'Dowd's baptism:

Helen Ann Odowd
in the Quebec, Canada, Vital and Church Records (Drouin Collection), 1621-1968
Name: Helen Ann Odowd
Event: Baptême (Baptism)
Baptism Year: 1883

Daughter of Joseph O'Dowd, cabinet maker, and Elizabeth B Daley.
Godmother: Helen Mooney, wife of Daniel Errington.
Godfather: Daniel Errington.


EDIT:
Oops, I see you've already posted that, JC.

Teresa, now why didn't I think of that. :-D

Here we are:

Name: Janes Sally
Spouse: Hansa Odowd
Event: Mariage (Marriage)
Marriage Year: 1912
Marriage Location: Montréal, Québec (Quebec)
Place of Worship or Institution: St-Michel-Archange (rue St-Viateur)

it definitely says Teresa O' Dowd, daugher of Joseph O'Dowd and the late Elizabeth Daly. James was the widower of Helen Traynor.

So we got somewhere after all!

The Teresa you identified on the voters list was a daughter.

In 1953 they were in Outremont (part of Montreal)

James retired
Tessie
Kathleen teacher
Rita stenographer
Teresa clerk

Their surname seems to get transcribed as SALLLE, and I can't figure out how they've transcribed Tessie ...

Teresa's daughter Rita was baptised 1921, but I won't post the full record in case she's still alive.

Middle names Ellen Erica (Ancestry's transcription says Erice, but I think it looks like Erica).
Parents James Sallie, master-cutler (or maybe master cutter, as he was a mason) and Teresa O'Dowd.
Godparents: Patrick McMollon [? his signature looks more like McMorarna] and his wife Ellen Gorey.



A son of Teresa & James - Patrick, - was buried in 1925. The record's too blurred to make out any more details:

Patrick Sallie
in the Quebec, Canada, Vital and Church Records (Drouin Collection), 1621-1968
Name: Patrick Sallie
Event: Enterrement (Burial)
Burial Year: 1925
Burial Location: Montréal, Québec (Quebec)
Place of Worship or Institution: Basilique Notre-Dame

This is the birth of a daughter of James Sallie and Ellen Trainor, his first wife, who must have died about the same time, if James and Teresa married in 1912.
"Sponsors" were James Doherty and Mary Theresa O'Dowd.

Ellen Sallie
in the Quebec, Canada, Vital and Church Records (Drouin Collection), 1621-1968
Name: Ellen Sallie
Event: Baptême (Baptism)
Baptism Year: 1911
Baptism Location: Montréal, Québec (Quebec)
Place of Worship or Institution: Notre-Dame-du-Bon-Conseil


and the child's death:

Helen Sallie
in the Quebec, Canada, Vital and Church Records (Drouin Collection), 1621-1968
Name: Helen Sallie
Event: Enterrement (Burial)
Burial Year: 1911
Burial Location: Montréal, Québec (Quebec)
Place of Worship or Institution: Basilique Notre-Dame

Other children of James & Teresa were:

James , baptised 1915
Mary baptised 1919
Elizabeth Ruth , baptised 1913 - she's the daughter who married an Aldrich:

Ruth E Aldrich
in the California, Death Index, 1940-1997
Name: Ruth E Aldrich
Social Security #: 554134678
Gender: Female
Birth Date: 4 Sep 1912
Birth Place: Canada
Death Date: 19 Oct 1976
Death Place: Fresno


Marriage of the son James:

James Sallie
in the Quebec, Canada, Vital and Church Records (Drouin Collection), 1621-1968
Name: James Sallie
Spouse: Eva Mary Barry
Event: Mariage (Marriage)
Marriage Year: 1941
Marriage Location: Montréal, Québec (Quebec)
Place of Worship or Institution: St-Michel-Archange (rue St-Viateur)

Mrs J Sallie (presumably Eva) and Miss Teresa Sallie (presumably a daughter) were still living in Montreal in 1968, per ER. The daughter worked for IBM.
EDIT:
Well, maybe not - they could be Teresa and her daughter Teresa.

This looks like (possibly) the obituary of Rita, Estella's niece, with names of her children and grand-children.
EDIT: I'm not sure if it means Sallie was this lady's maiden surname, in which case she's probably the right person, or a middle name by which she was known, in which case she probably isn't.

You could try contacting the funeral directors. Although her funeral was in 2002, they may still have records of contact details for relatives.

https://tinyurl.com/y9f2hr2n

Also -

www.canada411.ca shows the address and phone number for a Michael Hurst in Laval - quite possibly this Rita's son.

Yes, the '(Sallie)' indicates her birth surname, and she is then referred to by that name because women in Quebec have always retained their birth names for some purposes and now do by law.

(She is entirely incorrectly called 'Mrs Sallie', but they do that a lot in Quebec and France where 'Mme' (Madame) is now just used as the equivalent of 'Monsieur', so they just incorrectly call all women 'Mrs' in English.)

(You can tell the obituary was written by a francophone employee of the funeral home: ' Also survived by HIS grandchildren'!)


The 1921 census for that family
(to remind myself! - Tessie is the sister of Stella/Estella O'Dowd Donnelly)

Unfortunately no ages are entered - it looks like ng, maybe 'not given'.

but Kathaline is shown as born in Scotland, so perhaps a daughter of the first marriage.

Annie Hovid is a sister-in-law, shown as single, and it actually seems to be HOWD, so I would guess that she is Helen Ann O'Dowd.

wow you guys are Amazing !! thank you so much ,
