Keeley in 1911 Ireland
The 1911 Census recorded 330 people named Keeley in Ireland; roughly one in every 13,000 people carried the name. The name was split fairly evenly between men and women: 163 men and 166 women. (A small number, 1, had no sex recorded.)
Keeley average age in 1911.
The average Keeley in 1911 was 27.1 years old, 25.6 for men and 28.7 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.
Keeley literacy in 1911.
Of the Keeleys whose literacy was recorded, 81.2% could both read and write, 4.4% could read but not write, and 14.4% could do neither. Women came out slightly ahead, 82.4% reading and writing against 79.9% 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.
The most common male names were James (21), John, Thomas, Patrick and Joseph. For women it was Mary (28), followed by Bridget, Ellen, Catherine and Margaret.common first names.
