The 1911 Census recorded 439 people named Carbery in Ireland; roughly one in every 10,000 people carried the name. The name was split fairly evenly between men and women: 216 men and 222 women. (A small number, 1, had no sex recorded.)
Counties with Carbery in Ireland
Tyrone had the largest share of Carberys, 20.5% (90 people). Next came Dublin (40), Antrim (38), Wexford (37) and Armagh (26).
Carbery average age in 1911
The average Carbery in 1911 was 31.6 years old, 30.6 for men and 32.5 for women; slightly older 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.
Carbery literacy in 1911
Of the Carberys whose literacy was recorded, 71% could both read and write, 6.9% could read but not write, and 22.1% 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.
