Connon average age in 1911
The average Connon in 1911 was 31.1 years old, 29.4 for men and 32.8 for women; slightly older than the national averages of 29.6 for men and 30.5 for 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.
