Alured was the son of John Aldred of Charterhouse, Hull. He was admitted as a scholar at Trinity College, Cambridge, at Easter 1602. He was admitted at Gray's Inn on 7 May 1604.[1] From about 1606 he was private secretary to Ralph Eure, 3rd Baron Eure, and was given a number of further posts.[2]

Alured initially held property at Ludlow, Shropshire and at Bewdley, Worcestershire but was later of Blackfriars, London and Edmonton, Middlesex.[3] In 1628, he was elected Member of Parliament for Hedon and sat until 1629 when King Charles decided to rule without parliament for eleven years.[1]

Alured died at the age of about 54 and was buried at St Anne's, Blackfriars.[1]
