Hi,
my greatgranduncle was Dennis Hassan (or Hasson!)
He was born on 26 Jun 1865 in the townland of Coolnamonan, Banagher Parish in Co. Derry.
His parents were Patrick Hassan c.1830-1907 and Rose Fleming 1835-1909.
We believe that Dennis was an Auctioneer
He married Marjery O'Doherty on the 15/9/1891 in Banagher. They were both living in Eden townland at the time and Marjery was a teacher at the nearby school called Moneyhaughan.
Sadly Marjery died shortly afterwards and Dennis left. The family story is that he went to Scotland and died in a workhouse but I can't find any evidence of this!
Someone please help!
Thanks
Oisín
