Counties with Mines in Ireland
The Mineses were heavily concentrated in Armagh, home to 55.6% of them (35 people). Next came Antrim (12), Tyrone (7), Kilkenny (3) and Dublin (2).
Mines average age in 1911
The average Mines in 1911 was 39.7 years old, 35.9 for men and 45.3 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.

Of the Mineses whose literacy was recorded, 63.5% could both read and write, 9.5% could read but not write, and 27% could do neither. Men came out slightly ahead, 68.4% reading and writing against 56% 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.
