Counties with Eames in Ireland
Leitrim was Eames country: 38.5% of them (37 people) lived there in 1911. Next came Fermanagh (23), Antrim (14), Donegal (6) and Clare (5).
Eames average age in 1911
The average Eames in 1911 was 27.0 years old, 27.1 for men and 26.8 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.
Eames literacy in 1911

Women came out slightly ahead, 85.4% reading and writing against 72.2% 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.
