Mann in 1911 Ireland
The 1911 Census recorded 616 people named Mann in Ireland; roughly one in every 7,100 people carried the name. The name was split fairly evenly between men and women: 282 men and 332 women. (A small number, 2, had no sex recorded.)
Counties with Mann in Ireland
Antrim was Mann country: 33.6% of them (207 people) lived there in 1911. Next came Down (78), Dublin (76), Armagh (55) and Limerick (51).
Mann average age in 1911
The average Mann in 1911 was 30.8 years old, 30.2 for men and 31.2 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.
Mann literacy in 1911
Of the Manns whose literacy was recorded, 85.2% could both read and write, 2.7% could read but not write, and 12.1% 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.
