Kinnane in 1911 Ireland
The 1911 Census recorded 169 people named Kinnane in Ireland; roughly one in every 26,000 people carried the name. There were noticeably more men than women recorded: 92 men to 75 women. (A small number, 2, had no sex recorded.)
Counties with Kinnane in Ireland
The Kinnanes were heavily concentrated in Clare, home to 54.4% of them (92 people). Next came Limerick (29), Tipperary (25), Antrim (8) and Dublin (7).
Kinnane average age in 1911
The average Kinnane in 1911 was 28.1 years old, 25.0 for men and 31.9 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.
Kinnane literacy in 1911
Of the Kinnanes whose literacy was recorded, 72.6% could both read and write, 3% could read but not write, and 24.4% could do neither. Women came out slightly ahead, 74.7% reading and writing against 70.7% 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.
