No

Alfred is a name in its own right but both could be shortened to Fred although Alfred's were normally shortened to Alf or Alfie

Where have you got this info from? A marriage Cert?

Researching:
Nothing much

Hi. I'm looking for Alfred James born about 1870 in Birmingham To George James. I know George was a Brick maker / Layer but the only George I can find in 1871 and 1881 had a son called Charles who fits the age.

There is a record of a Frederick Charles James born 3rd Q 1870 in Birmingham.

My question is If you were called Frederick would you shorten your name to Alfred?

Thank you.
