Biographical history

John Auldjo, Acting British Consul in Geneva, Switzerland (1870), was the son of Alexander Auldjo, a substantial landowner in Upper Canada with properties in Cornwall, L'Original, Hawkesberry, Madoc, Picton, Frankford, Stirling, Wooler, Cobourg, Port Hope, Lindsay, Brighton, Simcoe, Barrie, Brantford, Pendleton, Cavan, Bloomfield, Kendall, Kingston and Kingston area. From 1852 to 1854 John was involved in a court case against Arnold and Short involving property disposition. About the same time he won a case against his cousin, Louis Auldjo, regarding breach of promise. Eventually John turned over all his properties in Canada to his niece in lieu of monies owed.

Custodial history

This sous-fonds forms part of the Kirkpatrick-Nickle legal collection. The documents came from the law firm of Nickle and Nickle, which was founded by Thomas Kirkpatrick in 1828, and which continued under various names (Kirkpatrick Nickle) and with various partners until 1968. The Auldjo estate papers were deposited, along with the papers of other clients of the firm, in Queen's University Archives during the 1960's.

Scope and content

The sous-fonds consists of correspondence, grants, indentures, articles of agreement, Fieri Facias and miscellaneous documents pertaining to two court cases involving the Auldjo family.
