Hugh's in 1911 Ireland
The 1911 Census recorded 58 people named Hugh's in Ireland; roughly one in every 76,000 people carried the name. The name was split fairly evenly between men and women: 29 men and 28 women. (A small number, 1, had no sex recorded.)
Counties with Hugh's in Ireland
Antrim was Hugh's country: 27.6% of them (16 people) lived there in 1911. Next came Down (8), Tyrone (8), Dublin (5) and Monaghan (5).
Hugh's average age in 1911
The average Hugh's in 1911 was 32.6 years old, 34.2 for men and 30.9 for women; slightly older 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.
Hugh's literacy in 1911
Of the Hugh'ses whose literacy was recorded, 74.1% could both read and write, 5.2% could read but not write, and 20.7% could do neither. Women came out slightly ahead, 82.1% reading and writing against 65.5% 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.
