- in 1906/1907 and in 1907/8 directories, at 542 Lansdowne Ave is listed 'H. R. Hutchinson of J. H. Hutchison'. (J. H. Hutchison is probably the name of a familyshop/company). At 551 is Wm Campbell, W. R. Campbell, and H. M. Campbell.
Looking at google map this seems to be a residential area, which is borne out by the directory - at 305 there is the Westmount Methodist Church. Both the addresses are near the intersection of Lansdowne with Chemin Côte St-Antoine.
In 1910/11 Wm Campbell is still at 551, 542 is occupied by J. MacEwen.
In the census I believe this area is listed as "Westmount". In 1911 551 Lansdowne is at:
1911 / Quebec / Hochelaga / 50 Westmount / page 15
At 551 is a family headed by Frederick Gordan Payne, accountant, aged 60. + two sons. There is a housekeeper in residence. Judging by his and the neighbours' occupations, the families in this area were reasonably well off. Not all, but several have domestic live-in help.
542 is at:
Home / 1911 / Quebec / Hochelaga / 50 Westmount / page 21 split view
Living there is John MacEwen, his wife and children. He is a manager (place of work: fine m? ), and his nearest neighbours are an architect and 'assist. to vice president (railroad)'. Again, several live in domestics in the area.
Presumably whoever was organising work for the home children was kind enough to try and place them together.

There's a marriage recorded at the West End Methodist Church, Montreal that might apply:
Daniel Bremmer [sic], bachelor, Montreal, son of John Bremmer[sic] & Georgianne Bremmer and Rose Muller of Montreal daughter of Adam Muller and Elizabeth Muller married 22 November 1909. Witnesses: Edith L. Radley and John Bremner. Minister was A.A. Radley.
The 1911 census shows this couple under the surname Bremner at 168 1/2 St. Martin, Montreal (see 1911 census St. Antoine, Subdistrict 6) at automatedgenealogy.com. Rose is shown as born May 1888, born England, emigrated 1900.
No luck with a Daisy Muller marriage record in Montreal. Oddly there is a Daisy Muller in the 1901 census born 2 Mar 1890 England, emigrated 1900, domestic, living with Thomas Hutchinson, Durham (East) Cava, p2. Now as coincidence would have it, there is an H.R. Hutchison at 542 Lansdowne in Montreal.
All the best

Quebec marriage certificates: As a non-resident of Quebec, you can't use the online order form. I think you have to write to them and state your case.
http://www.etatcivil.gouv.qc.ca/en/certificate-copy-act.html#complete
Meanwhile, here is the register entry - I hope you can read it.
If that doesn't help, email the good people at Quebec Family History Society, they'll help you for a fee, but they have a lot of information and can probably get you things like the marriage contract, wills, etc. They're at www.qfhs.ca
And glad to help. I just started using this forum and people have been really helpful so its nice to be able to return the favour.
JM
