John Gilmour and Helena Boa Ste. Therese de Blainville, Quebec

I am looking for any information on
John Gilmour
B. 16 October 1824 Sainte Therese de Blainville, Terrebonne, Quebec.
D. 20 Jun 1890 Cartierville, Quebec

M. 07 Feb 1850 to

Helena Boa
B. 1827 St. Laurent, Jacques, Cartier...Quebec
D. 18 Jan. 1902 Saint Therese de Blainville, Quebec

I know who Helena's parents were but not John's. I have heard a family story that they migrated during the Highland clearances which might have put John's father as having been born in Scotland.

The family stayed in Ste. Therese until about 1895. My grandmother, Helena Stella was the daughter of John and Helena Gilmour's daughter Agnes Forsyth Gilmour Dale. My mother named me Stella Helena as she had never been told that her mother went by her middle name...
