THE NAME ALDRED

The English surname 'Aldred' is derived from two germanic/english words. The 'Ald' part means 'old' or 'wise' and the 'red' means 'counsel'. [Thus Ethelred the unready was un-wise, not unprepared]. It appears in the Domesday Book in 1086 as 'Ailred' and 'Aldrel', and is taken to mean old or wise counsellor.

Early instances of the surname date back to the twelfth century and include the mention of one 'Rodger Aldredus' recorded in 1207 in the 'Pipe Rolls' for Devonshire. Another early recorded reference includes 'Magdalen Aldred' who married William Hawke in 1550 (London Marriage Licence). Another more famous person was Aldred, Achbishop of York (d. 1069), a diplomat sent to Germany by Edward the Confessor before the conquest, and who crowned William in 1066, and a later Roger Aldred was appointed attorney in the matter of the transfer of 10 acres of land in Winfarthing by the Duke of Norfolk, Treasurer and Marshal of England in 1533

Variants include Alldread, Alldril, Eldred, Aldried Alored and Alvard.

Obed was both a brickmaker, bricklayer and owner of fishing craft and was one of the founders of the Lowestoft Porcelain factory (See item on Lowestoft Porcelain here), but there is no evidence that he worked in the factory, although he may well have advised on subjects such as kilns and firing. Manor Court records show that he worked closely with Philip Walker and was producing bricks with him in 1760 when they were jointly given permission to erect a brick kiln on Drake's Heath. In 1735 he was in occupation of a bruary (uncultivated land) in Lowestoft of six and a half acres. He was churchwarden at St Margaret's Church in 1757, 1767, 1768, and from 1774 to 1778. In 1769 he was a witness to the will of John WILSON of Lowestoft. You can see the website of the modern Lowestoft Porcelain factory here, and Obed's house here.
