Duane in 1911 Ireland
The 1911 Census recorded 349 people named Duane in Ireland; roughly one in every 13,000 people carried the name. The name was split fairly evenly between men and women: 182 men and 166 women. (A small number, 1, had no sex recorded.)
Counties with Duane in Ireland
The Duanes were heavily concentrated in Galway, home to 57.9% of them (202 people). Next came Cork (55), Dublin (26), Limerick (12) and Tipperary (12).
Duane average age in 1911
The average Duane in 1911 was 32.4 years old, 32.2 for men and 32.7 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.
Duane literacy in 1911
Of the Duanes whose literacy was recorded, 79.9% could both read and write, 3.4% could read but not write, and 16.8% 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.
