= Eliisabeth (Isabelle), daughter of Michel Aubert and Jeanne AUBERT, was born about 1646 in the parish of Saint-Sulpice in Paris according to several authors (Aubin, Dumas, Jette, Landry, Langlois), which no doubt rely, for affirm this origin, on the marriage certificate entered in the register of Notre Dame of Quebec; the celebrant wrote that Elisabeth is the " daughter of Michel Aubert and Jeanne Aubert her father and mother of the parish of S t Sulpice of the city of Paris " In the marriage contract between Aubin Lambert and Isabel Aubert of Sept. 4, 1670, Isabelle was substituted for Elizabeth. Estienne and Anne Gasnier have signed with Jean-Baptiste Gosset, Gilles du Tartres, Marie Anne de Saussay and Roman Becquet. She will be named Anne in a few notarial acts in 1713 and 1717. Brother Real Aubin, who did exhaustive research on Aubin Lambert children could not find the date of birth of Elisabeth after research in Paris in 1977. Other research carried out by Yves Landry in the Excerpts of the Baptesmes Registers of Saint-Sulpice of Paris between 1636 and 1660, also remained vain.
The researcher Jean Paul Macouin, in Fichier Origine in June 2008, advanced that Elizabeth is the daughter of Michel Aubert, but that her mother is Jeanne Audeau and that Elizabeth was baptized on April 13, 1648, in Saint Jacques de la Boucherie, Paris, as well as her brother Pierre (August 26, 1649) and sister Anne (July 2, 1650). This same researcher says that Elizabeth's family lived in Paris on the Pont-au-Change in 1649 and on the rue de Gesvres in 1650. Her father worked as a master smelter. When she arrived in New France in 1670, Elizabeth had goods estimated at 200 livres and a King's gift of 50 pounds. She did not know how to sign. In the census of 1681, she is attributed 45 years; but in the Register of Patients at the Hotel-Dieu de Québec in 1690, she was given 39 years (June 12), 48 years ( August 1st ), 43 years (September 1st ) and finally 47 years (October 1st ). A plausible hypothesis: her family lived in the parish of Saint-Sulpice in Paris between 1650 and 1670.
She married, on Monday, September 29, 1670 in Quebec City, Aubin Lambert dit Champagne, son of Odoard, maneuver, and Jacqueline Feillard, of Saint-Aubin de Tourouvre, district of Mortagne, in Perche (Orne). He had was baptized on June 30, 1632 in Saint-Aubin. He arrived in New France in 1662; in 1663, he occupied a land of two arpents in front at Château-Richer, that he exchanges with Jacques Goulet for a land in Cap-Rouge, in the lordship of Maur, on which it is in September 1668. In the census of 1681, he is a resident of the seigneury of Maur, in Saint-Augustin. In March 1688, he was an inhabitant of the seigniory of Maur. From 1670 to 1687, he was very active as evidenced by the various sales and delivery commitments for sawn timber and contracts relating to concessions, sales or exchanges of land. He must even face, before the Provost of Quebec, the prosecution of the lord of Maur (lods claim and sales) and by the Roman notary Spoiler (claim for payment of land sold by the latter in March 1670). Michel Langlois made a record of these transactions concerning Aubin 4 . Revenues from the sale of sawn wood and the land of Saint-Augustin-du-Nord Desmaures are not enough to meet the needs of the family. Looking other incomes, it commits August 10, 1687 with Nicolas Marion said Lafontaine, by leasing, for a period of nine years, two lands on the south shore St. Lawrence. On March 28, 1688, he is granted a land of four arpents head on forty deep at Lauzon. But it is not not enough and, on April 17, 1689, he undertakes to provide Nicolas Marion the sum of one hundred pounds and two thousand eels prepared in brine, for the rent of these land. The family will eventually live on the Lauzon coast. We can think that his wife Elizabeth did not have an easy life. She had to face difficult conditions from the beginning of his marriage, live the inconvenience of her husband's financial problems, not to mention the moves. To this is added birth of a dozen children. In 1690, her health was deteriorated, she is hospitalized four times at the Hotel-God of Quebec where she died on October 4th.
After the death of his wife, Aubin finds himself at the age 58 years old with nine living children, aged one to 17; Elder Françoise left the house when she got married. According to Brother Real Aubin, it is Catherine, deaf and dumb, 17 years old, who will take charge of keeping the house and the task of educating the youngest children of the family. The head of the family is dead and was buried on the 4th April 1713 in Saint-Nicolas. He did not know how to sign.
The household of Elizabeth and Aubin Lambert, established at the coast Saint-Ange at Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures, included ten children, nine of whom got married and gave them 93 grandchildren .
