Hartigan in 1911 Ireland
The 1911 Census recorded 790 people named Hartigan in Ireland; roughly one in every 5,600 people carried the name. The name was split fairly evenly between men and women: 383 men and 406 women. (A small number, 1, had no sex recorded.)
Counties with Hartigan in Ireland
The Hartigans were heavily concentrated in Limerick, home to 51.6% of them (408 people). Next came Clare (110), Cork (69), Tipperary (45) and Galway (41).
Hartigan average age in 1911
The average Hartigan in 1911 was 29.7 years old, 30.6 for men and 28.8 for women; almost exactly in line with 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.
Hartigan literacy in 1911
Of the Hartigans whose literacy was recorded, 79.4% could both read and write, 3.3% could read but not write, and 17.3% could do neither. Men came out slightly ahead, 80.5% reading and writing against 78.3% of 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.
Hartigan common first names
The most common male names were John (61), Michael, Patrick, James and Thomas; the same five names that topped the list nationally. For women it was Mary (72), followed by Bridget, Margaret, Ellen and Annie; matching the national top five exactly.
