[Clerjon had a fairly large property holding and apparently had died without heirs. His holding, consisted of 12 properties, was put up for auction on November11, 1864. A different source says Clerjon had left a property in Victoria to his brother Jean Clerjon]
[A merchant and opium smuggler by the name Clerjon existed in Hong Kong in 1846. I wonder if the two Clerjons were somehow related.]
[1] Clerjon identified himself as a student of the Medical Academy and Clinique, Paris. I was unable to find information on this institution.
[2] Clerjon advertised himself as Physician, Surgeon and Accoucheur, operating from a clinic in Government Street 1859-1862
