Pira in Other Countries

 

People with the family name ‘Pira’, not related by blood to the Pira family in the Philippines, are found in different countries. In fact, I exchanged on Facebook messages with a Gerry Pira in New Zealand in 2009.  I have also been interacting on Facebook with a Pira family in Columbia South America since 2012.

Between 1861 and 1920, the Pira family name was found in the USA, the UK, Canada, and Scotland. The most Pira families were found in the USA in 1920. In 1891 there were 2 Pira families living in Norfolk, England. This was about 67% of all the recorded Pira's in the UK. From ancestry.co.uk

What did the Pira ancestors do for a living? In 1940, Laborer and New Worker were the top reported jobs for men and women in the US named Pira. Sixty-three percent (63%) of Pira men worked as a Laborer and 43% of Pira women worked as a New Worker. From ancestry.co.uk/name-origin?surname=pira

Based in Phuket, Thailand, is Andres Pira (born April 26, 1981), a real estate developer and investor. He is known for his rags-to-riches life story. He and his group of companies have a net worth of over THB 2 billion (US$65 million).

What is the average Pira lifespan? Between 1948 and 2004, in the United States, Pira life expectancy was at its lowest point in 1982, and highest in 1974. The average life expectancy for Pira in 1948 was 53, and 76 in 2004.

In our family, Nemesio Pira passed away at 81 at San Juan - Ilocos Sur, Lumen Rabe-Pira in Quezon City at 89, Lourdes Pira-Israel in Quezon City at 79, Evelio Pira in Davao City at 83, and Josefa Pira in Manila at 27.
