Codd in 1911 Ireland
The 1911 Census recorded 445 people named Codd in Ireland; roughly one in every 9,900 people carried the name. The name was split fairly evenly between men and women: 224 men and 219 women. (A small number, 2, had no sex recorded.)
Counties with Codd in Ireland
The Codds were heavily concentrated in Wexford, home to 74.6% of them (332 people). Next came Carlow (36), Dublin (35), Wicklow (16) and Laois (6).
Codd average age in 1911
The average Codd in 1911 was 32.7 years old, 33.7 for men and 31.7 for women; slightly 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.
Codd literacy in 1911
Of the Codds whose literacy was recorded, 81.8% could both read and write, 4.1% could read but not write, and 14% 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.
