Sugrue in 1911 Ireland
The 1911 Census recorded 871 people named Sugrue in Ireland; roughly one in every 5,000 people carried the name. The name was split fairly evenly between men and women: 450 men and 419 women. (A small number, 2, had no sex recorded.)
Counties with Sugrue in Ireland
The Sugrues were heavily concentrated in Kerry, home to 89.8% of them (782 people). Next came Cork (73), Clare (7), Sligo (5) and Antrim (1).
Sugrue average age in 1911
The average Sugrue in 1911 was 27.8 years old, 28.4 for men and 27.2 for women; a touch 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.
Sugrue literacy in 1911
Of the Sugrues whose literacy was recorded, 70.9% could both read and write, 2.8% could read but not write, and 26.3% could do neither. Men came out slightly ahead, 72.8% reading and writing against 68.6% 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.
