A bit of looking produced some interesting information.

http://simmons.b2b2c.ca/attach1.htm seems informative.

The Drouin Collection is on Ancestry:

Looks like you won't get certs from that far back. See also

You should be able to find the records you are looking for in the Drouin Collection mentioned by GrahamSimons. These are original parish records of the events with images.

If you don't have a World or Canadian sub for Ancestry, you might check if your local public library subscribes to Ancestry Library Edition. This would give you access to the Drouin Collection. You generally need to be a bit creative when looking for records, often using just the last name and different spellings. Also, a burial for a woman may be under her maiden name.

We search for information but it is up to the thread owner to verify that it is correct.
