English Island (also called Hilyard Island[1]) is a tidal island off the north-west edge of Deer Island in the West Isles Parish of Charlotte County, New Brunswick, Canada, where the Bay of Fundy enters Passamaquoddy Bay.[2][3][4]
The few homes on the island belong to the descendents of Dr. Henry Frye, a prominent local physician tied to Hospital Island and Frye Island.[1]
A small graveyard holds fewer than a dozen old graves of the English family.[1]
