McM in 1911 Ireland
The 1911 Census recorded 391 people named McM in Ireland; roughly one in every 11,000 people carried the name. There were noticeably more men than women recorded: 220 men to 161 women. (A small number, 10, had no sex recorded.)
Counties with McM in Ireland
Antrim had the largest share of McMs, 18.9% (74 people). Next came Dublin (47), Clare (45), Tyrone (29) and Down (27).
McM average age in 1911
The average McM in 1911 was 42.3 years old, 40.9 for men and 44.9 for women; noticeably older 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.
McM literacy in 1911
Of the McMs whose literacy was recorded, 71.2% could both read and write, 8.2% could read but not write, and 20.7% could do neither. Men came out slightly ahead, 77.7% reading and writing against 61.5% of 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.
