Counties with Hynan in Ireland
The Hynans were heavily concentrated in Limerick, home to 62.7% of them (32 people). Next came Kildare (16) and Offaly (3).
Hynan average age in 1911
The average Hynan in 1911 was 23.5 years old, 25.3 for men and 21.7 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.
Hynan literacy in 1911
Of the Hynans whose literacy was recorded, 51.2% could both read and write, 7% could read but not write, and 41.9% could do neither. Men came out slightly ahead, 56.5% reading and writing against 45% 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.
