Here is a marriage for Virginie & Adelard:
Adelard Tanguay (Cyprien Tanguay & Genevieve Hebert of St-Janvier-de-Weedon)
m. 20 Nov 1899 Stratford Centre (St-Gabriel), Wolfe County
Virginie Bourgeois (Louis Bourgeois & Celina Cannirand, deceased)
And for her sister, Georgina:
Joseph Brunelle (Onesime Brunelle & Julienne Bilineau)
m. 10 Jun 1893 Stratford Centre (St-Gabriel), Wolfe County
Georgiana Bourgeois (Louis Bourgeois & Celina Camirand, deceased)
Their father, Louis, must have remarried to Philomene Belisle at some point after their mother's death.Although their mother's last name appears to be Camirand/Cannirand, that might be a dit name for Godette, and this is their parents' marriage:
Louis Bourgeois (Joseph Bourgeois & Marianne Champagne)
m. 31 Aug 1863 Ste-Monique, Nicolet County, Quebec
Celina Godette (Joseph Godette & Esther Foucault)
Here are baptisms for some of their children:
1. Marie Dina Bourgeois, b. 11 Mar, bap 12 Mar 1865 Ste-Monique, dau of Louis Bourgeois & Celina Godette.
2. **Eugenie [sic] Bourgeois, b. 30 May, bap 31 May 1866 Ste-Monique, dau of Louis Bourgeois & Celina Godette. **
**That matches very closely to your birth date for Jennie.Although she was baptized Eugenie (possibly an error in the parish record), she went by Virginie and later by Jennie.
3.Louis Bourgeois, b. 9 Apr, bap 10 Apr 1871 Ste-Monique, son of Louis Bourgeois & Celina Godette.
