Counties with Robins in Ireland
Kildare had the largest share of Robinses, 19.1% (13 people). Next came Waterford (11), Westmeath (11), Antrim (9) and Mayo (8).
Robins average age in 1911
The average Robins in 1911 was 25.9 years old, 24.5 for men and 26.9 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.
Robins literacy in 1911
Of the Robinses whose literacy was recorded, 83.6% could both read and write, 1.5% could read but not write, and 14.9% could do neither. Men came out slightly ahead, 89.7% reading and writing against 78.9% 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.
