Counties with Redmond in Ireland
Wexford was Redmond country: 37.2% of them (1,492 people) lived there in 1911. Next came Dublin (1,304), Wicklow (329), Antrim (184) and Carlow (126).
Redmond average age in 1911
The average Redmond in 1911 was 29.2 years old, 28.9 for men and 29.4 for women; almost exactly in line with the national averages of 29.6 for men and 30.5 for women. That low figure reflects just how many children there were in Edwardian Ireland, along with high infant mortality and the limits of public health at the time. For comparison, average life expectancy in Ireland today is around 83.
Redmond literacy in 1911
Of the Redmonds whose literacy was recorded, 76.9% could both read and write, 4% could read but not write, and 19% could do neither. The figures were much the same for men and women. Bear in mind these figures include young children; the census itself only counted people aged nine and over when calculating illiteracy, on the grounds that it was unfair to label a child illiterate before they'd had a chance to learn.
