Scope and content
The fonds consists of a loans ledger kept by A. A. McLean, 1883-1903 and a photograph of the interior of the law office in 1908 when it was located at 134 Richmond Street. Included in the photograph are Angus A. McLean, Donald McKinnon, Marion McKinnon, stenographer and an unidentified law clerk or student.
It also contains many legal and property documents relating to several estates handled by both the Bayfield and the McLean and McKinnon law firm over the years. Edward Bayfield (1847- ?) was the second son of Admiral Henry Wolsey Bayfield. He became a lawyer in private practice in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island in 1872. Bayfield's sister, Fanny Gertrude Mary was married in 1869 to Russell George Freeland, an English military officer who later acquired property in Charlottetown and elsewhere in the province. On the death of Admiral Bayfield, a number of property-based trusts were established involving members of the Bayfield and Freeland families. Edward Bayfield moved to British Columbia sometime before 1920.
Among the papers inherited from this firm were the Russell Freeland estate, the C. M. Bayfield estate, the Margaret Peters estate and the Lemuel E. Poole estate. Documents include conveyances, leases, mortgages, mortgage ledgers, insurance papers and correspondence relating to the administration of the estates. Most of the land documents are copies of material registered in the Registry Office. There is additional family documentation including marriage and birth certificates for members of the Bayfield family.
