Manifest for the Kate O'Neill who was travelling in 1911 can be viewed at familysearch. It has her recorded as CofI under religious denomination.

1901 census for 138 St James Road, Glasgow has a family group consisting of:

Alexander Howie born Scotland
wife Joan Howie born England
daughters Mary, Janet, Catherine and Alison all born Glasgow
son John W born Glasgow

so this fits with the family of the Catherine Howie/John Burnett marriage and names/address  mentioned in travel records.

How certain are you that the 24/12/1869 death of a Catherine Burnett in Montreal, is the Catherine O'Neill of the 1891 Antrim birth?

Did you note that by coincidence or otherwise, in the same cemetery is a Catherine Victoria Burnett died 1987 - the same names as the child born to Catherine Howie/John Burnett, possibly also Catherine Howie's full name, so depending on age, perhaps the latter?

Looks good!

Possible pre-marriage family group for John in 1921:  https://central.bac-lac.gc.ca/.item/?app=Census1921&op=img&id=e003098528, all Scottish, arrived 1910.

John's occupation - plumber.

A possibility to consider, if, given the other mistakes, Reston in the Canadian marriage entry should be Preston:

George Burnet m Janet Preston in 1880

BURNET
GEORGE
PRESTON
JANET
1880
795/ 5
Lilliesleaf       

with, amongst other children,  a son John born 1884 and a George born 1894.

These seem to lead down the path of the discounted couple - Canada Voters List 1968 - 49 Rue Alepin  LaSalle - John Burnett (retired) Kathryn Burnett, John Burnett Jnr (mechanic)

Canada Voters List 1972 - 40 e Avenue La Salle - John Burnett (Retired) John Burnett (CPR) Dorothy Burnett (housewife) Dorinda Burnett (Typist)

Canada Voters List 1974 - 40 e Avenue - John M Burnett (CPR) Dorothy Burnett, John A Burnett (retired)
