Marlow in 1911 Ireland
The 1911 Census recorded 253 people named Marlow in Ireland; roughly one in every 17,000 people carried the name. The name was split fairly evenly between men and women: 117 men and 134 women. (A small number, 2, had no sex recorded.)
Counties with Marlow in Ireland
Dublin was Marlow country: 27.3% of them (69 people) lived there in 1911. Next came Tyrone (67), Longford (27), Antrim (26) and Down (15).
Marlow average age in 1911
The average Marlow in 1911 was 28.1 years old, 29.2 for men and 27.2 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.
Marlow literacy in 1911
Of the Marlows whose literacy was recorded, 73.2% could both read and write, 1.6% could read but not write, and 25.2% could do neither. Men came out slightly ahead, 75% reading and writing against 72.7% of 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.
