Research Notes

Aubrey is a village on the west side of the English River close to the junction of the Norton Creek. (45.143N/73.789W) Originally named California Village until the post office opened in 1867. Locally known by some as Peasoup. Originally at the southeast corner of the South Georgetown region of the Seigniory of Beauharnois, Aubrey is now within the Municipality of St-Chrysostome, QC. It was sometimes spelt Aubry. Named after Edward Philip Aubrey, an early settler and son of the founder of Aubrey's Corners in Dundee.
