Alfred Senier was born 24 January 1853 in Burnley, England to Alfred Senier (1823–1893) and Jane (née Sutherland).[1] His father, who was born in England, first emigrated to the Territory of Wisconsin in 1844 before returning to England in 1847 to become a pharmacist. He married Jane Sutherland and, in 1853, emigrated once more to Wisconsin, opening a pharmacy in Dover.[2] In 1857, they moved to the nearby village of Mazomanie.[2]

Alfred, Jnr. attended the University of Wisconsin and graduated from the University of Michigan in 1873 as a Doctor of Medicine.[3]

He died 29 June 1918 at the age of 65 in the county infirmary, Galway, Ireland.[3][4]
