Hi.I hope you'll give me another chance!St-Lambert is in the county of Chambly, so, first I tried looking in Longueuil (co-cathédrale St-Antoine-de-Pade), Chambly, which is the closest parish to St-Lambert, but there were no good leads.However, another search led to this baptism:
Thomas Elphege Lambert, b. 21 Feb 1839 Chambly (St-Joseph), Quebec, son of Jean-Baptiste Lambert & Julie Vendandigne dit Gadbois.
Here is the marriage for these parents:
Jean-Baptiste Lambert (Pierre Lambert & Monique Graveline)
m. 6 Feb 1827 Beloeil (St-Mathieu)
Julie Gadbois (Prudent Gadbois dit Vandredage & Marguerite Paquet)
Julie died and Jean-Baptiste remarried:
Jean-Baptiste Lambert (widower of Julie Vandendrigue dit Gadbois)
m. 156 Jul 1845 Chambly (St-Joseph)
Theotiste Guertin (Louis Gertin & Louise Beaufreres)

There is no proof that this is the family of your Thomas, but it's another possibility that perhaps more closely matches your family history.Annie
