I'm afraid it's going to be very difficult if not impossible to trace a family in Ireland is you don't even know what county they came from. To search in Ireland you need to know the family's religion and where they lived (parish if not actual townland).
Civil registration in Ireland began 1864/1845 so for the period before that you need church records (if they exist).
If the Hassans moved to Scotland you need to search through all possible Scottish records for clues like a placename in Ireland.
Meanwhile I'll move this to Ireland-General board as you aren't sure whether of not it is Co. Armagh.

Having great difficulty in finding out some information about this fellow.  Not sure what religion.  there are various spellings for this name i.e. hasson hassen, haasin, husson.
All Hassan's here in Scotland are from Ireland and catholic.
Many thanks for you help, hope this helps to take it a bit further.  No idea what county he came from.

If you do get more information or clues post them here so we can try to help but you do need to look at all possible Scottish sources ebfore starting any Irish research.
