Possibly BERTheir (EN HAUT) in Quebec?

It was a post office since 1771, the fifth post office opened in Canada. It was opened here because this was the furthest large sailing ships could get up the St. Lauwrence at that time.

I don't know why BERTheir is misspelled. It was typed B E R T H I E R.

Nicely solved

Also BerTheir en bas (downstairs)
now BerTheir sur Mer.

BerTheir-sur-Mer was named after Alexandre BerTheir, a captain in the Carignan-Salières Regiment, who was given title to this area in 1672, then known as the seigneury of BerTheir-en-bas.

During the 19th century, Irish immigrants were quarantined at nearby Grosse Isle, now a National Historic site.

Richard Frajola (Pre 1839 early Pmks)
Early postmarks
Initially (that is, late eighteenth century), only Quebec, Montreal, and BerTheir had postmarks, mostly straightlines. One-offs, such as double oval and horseshoe types were put in use briefly. However, parallel to what happened in n s & n b, double circles were issued starting 1829; initially, the lettering was italic, but these were prone to damage, and subsequent hammers were more robust, with seriffed lettering
