Found the newspaper reference to James, poor guy.  Have added it to my archive.
Also found the exact death of his first wife, same paper, 25 Mar 1925, Ethel died 17 Mar.
Thanks again to everyone for their help.

There appears to be at least one child born to Neil and Eva. The child may be still alive so I won't post details here. You can find the baptism in 1934 at the same church the couple were married at, in image 54.

There was also a birth of a son 6 January 1940 - baptised 28 April 1940 (you could easily guess the names) - United Church Chalmers

I am actually only concerned with James directly, and have basically come to a standstill in regards to where and when he died.  All I know is that he died before his second wife did.  I feel he likely died in the Montreal area, and whatever church he was buried from is not included in the Drouin collection on Ancestry.  It is possible that his death might have been noted in the Montreal Gazette, or more likely the Montreal Star, but as far as I can tell, neither are digitalized.
I went from having nothing more than his name, the Quarter and and Louisa married in, and the reference to him on Louisa’s death certificate to finding out a whole lot more within 48 hours, through my own searching combined with help here. So am very happy with the outcome!

Never found any death notice or obituary in Montreal papers.

Just wondered out of curiosity where Eva and Neil were buried, sometimes this is helpful if there are any family burials/plots in the same cemetery  ???

It looks like there are few Quebec cemeteries transcribed and put online.
I imagine they are buried in a Protestant cemetery in Verdun, but I don't see any indexed online.
