Pembroke in 1911 Ireland
The 1911 Census recorded 87 people named Pembroke in Ireland; roughly one in every 50,000 people carried the name. The name was split fairly evenly between men and women: 46 men and 40 women. (A small number, 1, had no sex recorded.)
Counties with Pembroke in Ireland
Kerry was Pembroke country: 40.2% of them (35 people) lived there in 1911. Next came Kilkenny (20), Tipperary (13), Wexford (8) and Dublin (6).
Pembroke average age in 1911
The average Pembroke in 1911 was 29.1 years old, 28.6 for men and 29.8 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.
Pembroke literacy in 1911
Of the Pembrokes whose literacy was recorded, 76.2% could both read and write, 1.2% could read but not write, and 22.6% could do neither. Women came out slightly ahead, 84.2% reading and writing against 69.6% of men. 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.
