Hindes in 1911 Ireland

Counties with Hindes in Ireland
Antrim was Hindes country: 46.6% of them (27 people) lived there in 1911. Next came Down (16), Dublin (9), Armagh (5) and Tyrone (1).
Hindes average age in 1911
The average Hindes in 1911 was 26.0 years old, 21.4 for men and 30.0 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.
Hindes literacy in 1911
Of the Hindeses whose literacy was recorded, 72.4% could both read and write, 1.7% could read but not write, and 25.9% could do neither. Women came out slightly ahead, 83.9% reading and writing against 59.3% of men. 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.
