  • Head(s) of families follow [not indicated on original]
  • First set = Males
  • M(ale) I(nfant) = U(nder) 5 years
  • 5 = "5 to 10" [years]
  • 10 = " 10 to 15"
  • 15 = " 15 to 20"
  • 20 = " 20 to 30"
  • 30 = " 30 to 40"
  • 40 = " 40 to 50"
  • 50 = " 50 to 60"
  • 60 = " 60 to 70"
  • 70 = " 70 to 80"
  • 80 = " 80 to 90"
