Lord in 1911 Ireland
The 1911 Census recorded 222 people named Lord in Ireland; roughly one in every 20,000 people carried the name. The name was split fairly evenly between men and women: 107 men and 115 women.
Counties with Lord in Ireland
Dublin was Lord country: 36.5% of them (81 people) lived there in 1911. Next came Cavan (48), Antrim (24), Cork (17) and Down (10).
Lord average age in 1911
The average Lord in 1911 was 26.9 years old, 27.5 for men and 26.3 for women; noticeably 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.
Lord literacy in 1911
Of the Lords whose literacy was recorded, 80.8% could both read and write, 1.8% could read but not write, and 17.4% 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.
Lord common first names
The most common male names were John (15), James, Robert, William and Thomas. For women it was Mary (8), followed by Annie, Margaret, Bridget and Anne.

Grouped by sector, agriculture accounted for 9% of all Lords, followed by domestic service, retail & commerce and professional.

Most Lords, 51.8%, were Anglican. The remainder were mostly Roman Catholic (42.8%), Methodist (3.2%), Presbyterian (1.8%) and Agnostic (0.5%).
