Surnames: Saint-Antoine
From 25 years of experience I am confident about Canada Est or Canada East and Bas Canada or Lower Canada as all being terms for Quebec as well as Canada Ouest or Canada West and Haute Canada or Upper Canada being terms for Ontario. Now as to why you are having problems, have you considered a dit name situation? St. Antoine is probably not the original surname. Loiselle has indexed families by the main surname with all the dits, but also has some members of the same families under the dit names. If you have easy access to Tanguay, the appendix to Volume Seven has a lot of dits as of the period he includes. You don't mention Dennisson volumes, French Canadians of the Detroit River Region - not sure I have the exact name right. Have you used it for her research? Did their marriage take place in Detroit or do you have it at all? Let me know and perhaps there is something I can help with.
