Counties with Doddy in Ireland
The Doddys were heavily concentrated in Sligo, home to 93% of them (93 people). Next came Mayo (4), Clare (2) and Carlow (1).
Doddy average age in 1911
The average Doddy in 1911 was 28.1 years old, 25.8 for men and 31.6 for women; a touch 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.
Doddy literacy in 1911
Of the Doddys whose literacy was recorded, 93.2% could both read and write, 2.7% could read but not write, and 4.1% could do neither. Women came out slightly ahead, 96.6% reading and writing against 91.1% of men. 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.
