Kilduff average age in 1911

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.

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.
