Lohan in 1911 Ireland
The 1911 Census recorded 615 people named Lohan in Ireland; roughly one in every 7,100 people carried the name. The name was split fairly evenly between men and women: 304 men and 310 women. (A small number, 1, had no sex recorded.)
Counties with Lohan in Ireland
The Lohans were heavily concentrated in Galway, home to 75.4% of them (464 people). Next came Roscommon (79), Mayo (37), Leitrim (9) and Cork (6).
Lohan average age in 1911
The average Lohan in 1911 was 30.9 years old, 29.4 for men and 32.3 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.
Lohan literacy in 1911
Of the Lohans whose literacy was recorded, 70.6% could both read and write, 4.1% could read but not write, and 25.2% could do neither. Men came out slightly ahead, 71.6% 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.

Grouped by sector, agriculture accounted for 33% of all Lohans, followed by general labourers, domestic service and professional.
