Hi. According to Mary Louise's marriage record, and her son's death record, she was born in "St-Andrew, Quebec".I think maybe she may be from "St-Andre".
Here are two possible birth records for her from the Quebec, Vital and Church Records (Drouin Collection), 1621-1967:
Esther Mathilde Bertrand, b. 5 Jul, bap 7 Jul 1850 St-Andre, Argenteuil County, Quebec, daughter of Felix Bertrand & Zoe Paquet.
Esther Bertrand, b. 29 Oct, bap 1 Nov 1848 St-Andre, Argenteuil County, Quebec, daughter of Felix Bertrand & Zoe Paquet.
Here is a Census record for 1851:
1851 Census of Canada East, Canada West, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia about Esther Bertrand

And in 1861:

Louisa Bartrand4b. 1857 Que
Pierre Bartrand1b. 1860 Que
Here are baptisms for her siblings:
Felix Etienne Bertrand, b. 15 Dec, bap 18 Dec 1853 St-Andre, Argenteuil County, son of Felix Bertrand & Zoe Paquette.
Marie Louise Bertrand, b. 29 Sep, bap 30 Sep 1857 St-Andre, Argenteuil County, daughter of Felix Bertrand & Zoe Paquette.
Pierre Bertrand, b. 16 May, bap 17 May 1860 St-Andre, Argenteuil County, son of Felix Bertrand & Zoe Paquet.
Here is a marriage for the parents:
Felix Bertrand (Pierre Bertrand & Marguerite ?)
m. 30 Aug 1846 St-Andre, Argenteuil County, Quebec
Zoe Paquet (illegible)
In the 1861 Census Felix & Zoe are living next door to Pierre Paquet, b. 1794 & Louisa Plouf, b. 1802 so they may be her parents, and in fact there is a birth record that matches:
Zoe Paquet, b. 24 Feb, bap 28 Feb 1831 Rigaud (Ste-Madeleine), Vaudreuil County, Quebec, daughter of Pierre Paquet & Louise Plouf.
Felix Bertrand is most likely the son of Pierre Bertrand & Marguerite Legeault.
This is probably the Bertrand family in 1871 living in Ontario:
