Sloyan in 1911 Ireland
The 1911 Census recorded 125 people named Sloyan in Ireland; roughly one in every 35,000 people carried the name. The name was split fairly evenly between men and women: 62 men and 63 women.
Sloyan average age in 1911.
The average Sloyan in 1911 was 30.6 years old, 32.4 for men and 28.8 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.

Of the Sloyans whose literacy was recorded, 71.1% could both read and write, 3.3% could read but not write, and 25.6% could do neither. Men came out slightly ahead, 78.7% reading and writing against 63.3% 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.
