Biography
[edit]Aubert was born in Christiania (now Oslo), Norway. He was one of ten children born to Benoni Aubert (1768–1832) and Jakobine Henriette Thaulow (1776-1833). One of his brother was professor Ludvig Cæsar Martin Aubert (1807–1887).[2][3]
He graduated as cand.jur. in 1835. He worked as an attorney from 1836, and diocesan attorney (stiftprokurator) in Bergen from 1841. He was then appointed district stipendiary magistrate in Lofoten og Vesterålen in Nordland during 1847.[4] While stationed here, he was elected to the Norwegian Parliament in 1851, representing the rural constituency of Nordlands Amt (now Nordland).[5]
In 1852 he was appointed County Governor of Nordre Bergenhus Amt (now Sogn og Fjordane). He served as deputy representative to the Parliament in 1857.[5] He lived in Lærdalsøyri during this tenure.[6] He made an important contribution to the local economy by establishing a transport company with local merchant Jan Henrik Nitter Hansen (1801–1879) and priest Harald Ulrik Sverdrup (1813–1891). Founded in 1858, Nordre Bergenhus Amts Dampskibe (later known as Fylkesbaatane i Sogn og Fjordane) was established to provide steamship service from Bergen. With time the company came to operate ferries, charter service and tourist transportation.[4][7]
