Bryne in 1911 Ireland
The 1911 Census recorded 72 people named Bryne in Ireland; roughly one in every 61,000 people carried the name. The name was split fairly evenly between men and women: 32 men and 39 women. (A small number, 1, had no sex recorded.)
Counties with Bryne in Ireland
Dublin had the largest share of Brynes, 18.1% (13 people). Next came Tipperary (10), Galway (8), Antrim (6) and Wexford (6).
Bryne average age in 1911
The average Bryne in 1911 was 30.5 years old, 29.1 for men and 31.6 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.
Bryne literacy in 1911
Of the Brynes whose literacy was recorded, 67.6% could both read and write, 8.8% could read but not write, and 23.5% could do neither. Women came out slightly ahead, 73% reading and writing against 61.3% 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.
