Cope in 1911 Ireland
The 1911 Census recorded 77 people named Cope in Ireland; roughly one in every 57,000 people carried the name. There were noticeably more women than men recorded: 43 women to 33 men. (A small number, 1, had no sex recorded.)
Counties with Cope in Ireland
The Copes were heavily concentrated in Dublin, home to 50.6% of them (39 people). Next came Kildare (8), Down (6), Tipperary (6) and Antrim (3).
Cope average age in 1911
The average Cope in 1911 was 27.0 years old, 25.5 for men and 28.1 for women; a touch 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.
Cope literacy in 1911
Of the Copes whose literacy was recorded, 96% could both read and write, 0% could read but not write, and 4% 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.
