Landers in 1911 Ireland
The 1911 Census recorded 467 people named Landers in Ireland; roughly one in every 9,400 people carried the name. The name was split fairly evenly between men and women: 243 men and 223 women. (A small number, 1, had no sex recorded.)
Counties with Landers in Ireland
Kerry was Landers country: 30.6% of them (143 people) lived there in 1911. Next came Waterford (131), Tipperary (49), Limerick (42) and Cork (37).
Landers average age in 1911
The average Landers in 1911 was 30.5 years old, 29.4 for men and 31.8 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.
Landers literacy in 1911
Of the Landerses whose literacy was recorded, 75% could both read and write, 2.2% could read but not write, and 22.8% 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.
Landers common first names
The most common male names were John (44), Patrick, Michael, Thomas and James; the same five names that topped the list nationally. For women it was Mary (42), followed by Bridget, Ellen, Kate and Margaret.

Grouped by sector, agriculture accounted for 18.6% of all Landerses, followed by general labourers, domestic service and building & construction.
