I can't help you with your immediate query but as a Montrealer, the location of your photo of Agnes Sidaway stands out as a bit off.
1st: Lalonde, a common francophone family name, I think should probably read LaRonde, an amusement park. LaRonde was built for Expo '67 and continues to run. The park is located on Ile Ste-Helene and would be a great place for family photos to be taken.
2nd: Bleury St does cross Ste-Catherine Street West but the number is way off. Bleury is 4 blocks west of Blvd St-Laurent which is the east-west divider for Ste-Catherine Street. A number of 292 Bleury St would be more likely because Bleury isn't the cross street for the address 2092 Ste-Catherine St W. Also, as a news photographer, Bleury and Ste-Catherine doesn't strike me as a typical place for a photo unless Agnes was taking part in a demonstration but never say never.
Anyway, just a little info that may or may not help out.
