Moone in 1911 Ireland
The 1911 Census recorded 75 people named Moone in Ireland; roughly one in every 59,000 people carried the name. The name was split fairly evenly between men and women: 37 men and 37 women. (A small number, 1, had no sex recorded.)
Counties with Moone in Ireland
Limerick was Moone country: 25.3% of them (19 people) lived there in 1911. Next came Dublin (9), Cavan (7), Offaly (7) and Antrim (5).
Moone average age in 1911
The average Moone in 1911 was 26.8 years old, 27.1 for men and 26.5 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.
Moone literacy in 1911
Of the Moones whose literacy was recorded, 80.6% could both read and write, 4.2% could read but not write, and 15.3% could do neither. The figures were much the same for men and 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.
