Counties with Rosenberg in Ireland
The Rosenbergs were heavily concentrated in Dublin, home to 87.1% of them (54 people). Next came Armagh (6), Cork (1) and Louth (1).
Rosenberg average age in 1911
The average Rosenberg in 1911 was 21.9 years old, 20.4 for men and 23.6 for women; noticeably 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.
Rosenberg literacy in 1911
Of the Rosenbergs whose literacy was recorded, 76.9% could both read and write, 5.8% could read but not write, and 17.3% could do neither. Men came out slightly ahead, 82.8% reading and writing against 69.6% 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.
