Loney in 1911 Ireland
The 1911 Census recorded 207 people named Loney in Ireland; roughly one in every 21,000 people carried the name. The name was split fairly evenly between men and women: 99 men and 107 women. (A small number, 1, had no sex recorded.)
Counties with Loney in Ireland
Armagh was Loney country: 47.3% of them (98 people) lived there in 1911. Next came Antrim (68), Tipperary (21), Down (5) and Roscommon (4).
Loney average age in 1911
The average Loney in 1911 was 27.3 years old, 26.9 for men and 27.7 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.
Loney literacy in 1911
Of the Loneys whose literacy was recorded, 77.1% could both read and write, 4.9% could read but not write, and 18% 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.
