Corridan in 1911 Ireland
The 1911 Census recorded 99 people named Corridan in Ireland; roughly one in every 44,000 people carried the name. The name was split fairly evenly between men and women: 50 men and 48 women. (A small number, 1, had no sex recorded.)
Counties with Corridan in Ireland
The Corridans were heavily concentrated in Kerry, home to 92.9% of them (92 people). Next came Limerick (7).
Corridan average age in 1911
The average Corridan in 1911 was 32.5 years old, 32.0 for men and 32.9 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.
Corridan literacy in 1911
Of the Corridans whose literacy was recorded, 82.5% could both read and write, 1% could read but not write, and 16.5% 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.
Corridan common first names
