The Delees were heavily concentrated in Limerick, home to 92.5% of them (49 people). Next came Cork (4).
Delee average age in 1911
The average Delee in 1911 was 26.7 years old, 26.0 for men and 27.4 for women; noticeably younger than 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.
Delee literacy in 1911
Of the Delees whose literacy was recorded, 86.5% could both read and write, 1.9% could read but not write, and 11.5% could do neither. Men came out slightly ahead, 88.5% reading and writing against 84.6% of 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.
