Born 20 May 1871.

Given a copy of Tennyson's works by Jay, for his 25th birthday.

Married Helen Rose Hall (née Lodge) when he was 39, on 24 November 1910.

In 1912 their first daughter, Connie, was born in Roebourne (in Roe's Cottage).

Margaret was born in 1915, and soon afterwards Aubrey took a job as lighthouse keeper at Jarmen Island, the whole family moving there in part to get away from the extreme heat of Croydon station. Here they shared the accommodation with Mr Langer, a German national who in 1916 was taken from his post and interned. After his departure, Henry Ernest Hall joined Aubrey on Jarmen Island.

In about 1916 or 1917 he took a position as manager of Andover Station.

In 1919 their third daughter, Joan was born.

By the end of the 1950s he was living in a caravan at Comer Street in Como, Perth.

He died aged 91 on 11 January 1963, in Swanbourne.
