Page in 1911 Ireland
The 1911 Census recorded 445 people named Page in Ireland; roughly one in every 9,900 people carried the name. The name was split fairly evenly between men and women: 229 men and 211 women. (A small number, 5, had no sex recorded.)
Counties with Page in Ireland
Dublin had the largest share of Pages, 22.5% (100 people). Next came Antrim (71), Galway (65), Down (54) and Roscommon (47).
Page average age in 1911
The average Page in 1911 was 29.3 years old, 28.1 for men and 30.6 for women; almost exactly in line with 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.
Page literacy in 1911
Of the Pages whose literacy was recorded, 81% could both read and write, 4.5% could read but not write, and 14.6% could do neither. Women came out slightly ahead, 83.9% reading and writing against 78.5% 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 Thomas (21), John, Patrick, James and Michael; the same five names that topped the list nationally. For women it was Mary (21), followed by Elizabeth, Sarah, Bridget and Annie.
