According to the first post Daniel Hassan left Ireland c1850 so would not have been in Ireland at the time of Griffith's Valuation.

I realised that, but first names often run in family lines, and these could give clues as to where the family continued.

Hi all 

Interesting thread,  I too have just added 'Hassan' to my tree....Catherine Hassan born abt 1841 Coleraine, Londonerry,  to John Hassan and Mary Bradley.     I am looking for siblings of Catherine,  she sailed to Victoria, Aus (I think in 1865)  cannot determine alone or with family....  They were Catholic.

If these names are familiar to anyone,  would like to hear from you.

Hassan is a very common surname in the area and 'Coleraine' could refer to the town or the area around Coleraine.

Unfortunately civil registration of births, deaths and Catholic marriages in Ireland didn't start until 1864.

I am interested in the Hassen/Hassan name too. My G.grandmother Bridget Hassen was born in Londonderry about 1863-1865. Her parents were John Hassen, a farmer and Catherine Mullen. She came to New Zealand in about 1881 on the Forfashire. Family names maybe Ellen, Daniel,Patrick and Benedictine
I would appreciate a look up to find her exact birth place in Londonderry.

I, too, have been looking for Hassans from Derry.  I am trying trace my great great grandmother's roots in Derry Ireland.  According to her obituary she was related the John Cardinal McCloskey of NY.  His mother was Elizabeth Hassan of Coolnamonan, Banagher Derry Ireland.  I have researched records for both McCloskey and Hassan to no avail.  Unfortunately, there are not many records in existence.  I am now hoping to make a link with someone online that may have some family stories.  If I could figure out who Elizabeth Hassan's siblings and/or parents were, I might be able to make the connection with McCloskeys.  If you have any information that might be useful, please let me know. 

Regarding your inquiry, I know that in the 1831 Irish Census there were 15 Hassans of 28 households in Coolnamonan. The names were Patrick, James, John, Manus, Patrick, Thomas, Thomas, Hugh, Michael, Widow, Peter, HEnry, Thomas, James, and John.   Griffiths Valuation of 1858 shows 11 Hassans in Coolnamonan: James (Jonny), James (Tonry Due), John, Patrick, Thomas, Michael (Jack Roe), Nelus, Alick, John, Michael (Roe), and James (tailor).

Hi Mame,

Thanks for your reply,
I don't know anything about my.g.grandmother  or her family. I am reasonably sure the name was spelt Hassen, although she could not write at the time of her marriage in NZ in 1884 as it states in the cert that she put her mark,so other people could have spelled it the way it sounded. Her father was a farmer.
Have you looked in the church resourses on this forum? Do you know what religion your G.G.grandmother was.It seems they were Roman Catholic or Presbyterian mainly. That may narrow things down.  What dates are you looking at birth ect.. estimate  if your not sure.
Have you looked on the Family Search website?I am sure you have??
Were there any census during the 1860's -1880's for Londonderry?
 Bridget was born in 1863/64 and left Ireland in 1882/3

Bye for now

I agree.  the spelling of names is tricky.  There are several spellings that I have come across:  Hassan, Hassen, Hasson.  I have checked in all the available spots.  The problem is that there are few records in existence.  they were either destroyed in the Dublin fire or they were not kept properly by the priest in the village.  You may be luckier than me.  The records for Derry just became available on line.  You have to register and pay to see them.    Good luck on your search.
