Hallahan in 1911 Ireland
The 1911 Census recorded 319 people named Hallahan in Ireland; roughly one in every 14,000 people carried the name. The name was split fairly evenly between men and women: 164 men and 154 women. (A small number, 1, had no sex recorded.)
Counties with Hallahan in Ireland
The Hallahans were heavily concentrated in Cork, home to 62.7% of them (200 people). Next came Waterford (106), Armagh (7), Tipperary (3) and Carlow (1).
Hallahan average age in 1911
The average Hallahan in 1911 was 28.9 years old, 30.0 for men and 27.7 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.
Hallahan literacy in 1911
Of the Hallahans whose literacy was recorded, 77.3% could both read and write, 1.4% could read but not write, and 21.4% 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.
Hallahan common first names
The most common male names were John (31), James, Patrick, Michael and Thomas; the same five names that topped the list nationally. For women it was Mary (30), followed by Ellen, Julia, Kate and Margaret.

Grouped by sector, agriculture accounted for 27% of all Hallahans, followed by general labourers, retail & commerce and domestic service.
