Were there any census during the 1860's -1880's for Londonderry?

For county Londonderry 1831 census (heads of household only listed by name), 1901 and 1911.

Hello All:

Thank you so much for your help.  I just returned from New York City.  A search of the registry found Daniel HASSAN in the death index for 3 NOV 1863.  It list his age as 34 which imply his birth in Ireland was more along the line of 1829 and not 1832.  He was buried in Calvary Cemetery.  He died of consumption.  He had resided at the corner of 4th Avenue (present day Park Ave.) and 66th Street. 

It list his occupation as bootmaker? Were there any Hassans in boot making trade or is there any listings of occupations before 1850? 

Also what we be good way to start searching baptismal records in Ireland (again presumably in Londonderry (Derry) although I am here in the States?  This is with the presumption of Daniel being Catholic, because we have been Catholic in all generations since.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Regards,
Matt Hassan

To find records in Ireland you need to know both the family's religion and where they lived (parish if not actual townland) and then see if any church records survive.
