Help reading this name

[Mitch in Notts]

If the images are from the register - in your shoes I'd be inclined to have a look at the ATs to see what is recorded there and if it helps to make things clearer.

Thanks Geoffers - I will put it on my Norwich `to do list` (it is already two sides of A4!!!) when I go next year.

Had a look on Family search, there is a Dames Dolfe Seaman-parents John Seaman and Mary Boughton-baptised 11 May 1806 Arminghall.
Index batch no 102201-5 Source film 1472794
John Seaman and Mary Boughton married 22 Sept 1799 Bedington Nfk.

I cannot see the first letter as a J..comparing it to the J for John..it looks more like a D..comparing to the D in dec below it...same for the second name it also looks unlike the J for John although the 3 letters after def look like osp leading to Joseph,have to admit Dames Dolfe is a strange name and nothing like it on 1841 census.
Although on googling it, it is def a first name and quite popular with a lot of variants of it. Same for Dolfe not common but is a name and various variations inc Dolf short form of Adolph.

Thanks Val - I do wonder if he had such a strange name and thus changed it to Alfred!

well that is a possibility also, might not have liked being a Dames Dolfe.
