The Hanahoes were heavily concentrated in Mayo, home to 92.1% of them (70 people). Next came Donegal (5) and Kerry (1).
Hanahoe average age in 1911
The average Hanahoe in 1911 was 27.9 years old, 30.4 for men and 26.0 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.
Hanahoe literacy in 1911
Of the Hanahoes whose literacy was recorded, 52.7% could both read and write, 8.1% could read but not write, and 39.2% could do neither. Women came out slightly ahead, 54.8% reading and writing against 50% 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.
