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

Per church records, John Gilmour was born 17 October 1824 in St. Rose and died 20 June 1890 in St. Therese.Helen (referred to as Helena and Ellen in some records) was born 3 September 1826 in St. Laurent.They were married 7 February 1850 in the St. Therese Presbyterian Church.
John's parents were Matthew Gilmour and Agnes Forsyth, married 29 October 1821 in the St. Gabriel Presbyterian Church in Montreal.I believe Matthew and Agnes were both born in Scotland - he in 1798 or 1799 and she in about 1792.The 1851 and 1871 census indicate this.I have been trying to find out exactly when and where these two were born or when they emigrated to Canada, but have not found any specific info yet.If anyone has this info, please let me know.
Matthew died 30 May 1874 in St. Janvier.Agnes is listed in the 1861 census but not the 1871 census so I presume she died during that period.
I have other info on decendents of John and Helen if you are interested.
