Teague in 1911 Ireland
The 1911 Census recorded 219 people named Teague in Ireland; roughly one in every 20,000 people carried the name. The name was split fairly evenly between men and women: 115 men and 103 women. (A small number, 1, had no sex recorded.)
Counties with Teague in Ireland
The Teagues were heavily concentrated in Tyrone, home to 63.5% of them (139 people). Next came Fermanagh (30), Leitrim (14), Longford (12) and Antrim (11).
Teague average age in 1911
The average Teague in 1911 was 33.7 years old, 32.9 for men and 34.6 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.
Teague literacy in 1911
Of the Teagues whose literacy was recorded, 71.2% could both read and write, 6.5% could read but not write, and 21.9% could do neither. Men came out slightly ahead, 73.5% 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.
