I think what you're looking for is Groais Island or Point Groais Island. It's to the east of Englee. The 1945 census for Point Groais Island indicates the area is from Fishot Island to Englee.

Groais Island (the one I previously mentioned) was included in the White Bay District in 1935 and 1945. In 1921 it was included in the St. Barbe District. Some Newfoundlanders know it as the Grey Islands (There are actually 2 islands). The 1935 census for White Bay indicates the area covered as from Hilliers Harbour to Fishots Islands. It's spelled a number of ways in the records I've seen.
