I may have finally found baptisms for some of these kids from Quebec Vital and Church Records (Drouin Collection), 1621-1967 :
Joseph Houlle, b. 17 Apr 1834 St-Édouard (Napierville County), Quebec, son of Jean-Baptiste & Judith Choreder?
-godparents- Joseph Bissonet & Marguerite Robert

Aurelie Houlle, b. 29 Feb 1836 St-Édouard (Napierville County), Quebec, daughter of Jean & Angelique Chenaut?
-godparents- Ignace Houlle & Marie Anne ?

Amable Houlle, b. 23 Feb 1838 St-Édouard (Napierville County), Quebec, son of Jean & Judith Chenalde?
-godparents- Amable Gagne & Marguerite Boyer

Napoleon Houlle, b. 21 Apr 1841 St-Édouard (Napierville County), Quebec, son of Jean & Judith Chenider

-godparents- Barthlemi Pinel & Charlotte & Charlotte Marstelle
This is the most legible parish record so far, so I'm more confident that Judith's last name is Chenider.


Here is a possible marriage for you:
Jean-Baptiste Houle (Jean & Marie Dissonnet?) m. 25 Nov 1822 St-Philippe (Laprairie County), Quebec Judith Schneider (Jean-Baptiste & Marguerite Riel)
I found more children for them in St-Philippe:
Henri Houl, b. 22 Dec 1828 St-Philippe (Laprairie County), Quebec, son of Jean & Judith Schneider.
-godparents- Henri Schneider & Marie Bizaillon. This could be your Henry.

This is probably the next marriage in the line: Jean-Baptiste Houle, age 25 (Joseph & Angelique Bauche) m. 11 Sep 1797 St-Philippe (Laprairie County), Quebec Marie Louise Bisonnette, age 20 (Joseph & Charlotte Chaquete) They had a son, Jean-Baptiste Houle, b. 7 Dec 1798 St-Philippe (Laprairie County), Quebec, son of Jean-Baptiste & Marie Louise Bisonnet -godparents- Joseph Bissonnet & Charlotte Choquet, his wife.
Often the grandparents were the godparents of the first born child.
