Aylmer in 1911 Ireland
The 1911 Census recorded 64 people named Aylmer in Ireland; roughly one in every 69,000 people carried the name. There were noticeably more women than men recorded: 35 women to 26 men. (A small number, 3, had no sex recorded.)
Counties with Aylmer in Ireland
The Aylmers were heavily concentrated in Dublin, home to 54.7% of them (35 people). Next came Kildare (8), Cork (4), Down (4) and Mayo (4).
Aylmer average age in 1911
The average Aylmer in 1911 was 37.7 years old, 35.1 for men and 39.6 for women; noticeably older 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.
Aylmer literacy in 1911
Of the Aylmers whose literacy was recorded, 83.3% could both read and write, 3.3% could read but not write, and 13.3% could do neither. Men came out slightly ahead, 88% reading and writing against 80% 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.
