The average Marner in 1911 was 26.1 years old, 22.8 for men and 28.3 for women; noticeably younger than the national averages of 29.6 for men and 30.5 for 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.
