Heggarty in 1911 Ireland
The 1911 Census recorded 107 people named Heggarty in Ireland; roughly one in every 41,000 people carried the name. The name was split fairly evenly between men and women: 58 men and 48 women. (A small number, 1, had no sex recorded.)
Heggarty average age in 1911.
The average Heggarty in 1911 was 28.0 years old, 25.4 for men and 31.0 for women; a touch 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.
Heggarty literacy in 1911.
Of the Heggartys whose literacy was recorded, 63.8% could both read and write, 11.4% could read but not write, and 24.8% could do neither. Men came out slightly ahead, 67.2% reading and writing against 59.6% 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.
