Derry (Londonderry) / Re: Daniel Hassan from IRELAND
« on: Saturday 25 September 10 20:53 BST (UK)  »
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

Thank you for your prompt replies. 

Daniel HASSAN would have most probably been Catholic, as we have been Catholic through all subsequent generations.  I really have no idea the actual townland, but I have done some other research and found that the preponderance of HASSANs come from Banagher in the county of Londonderry (Derry). 

From: http://www.ireland.com/ancestor/index.htm
The list below shows the number of HASSAN households in each county in the Primary Valuation property survey of 1848-64.
1. Antrim  1 
2. Derry  91 
3. Tyrone  3 
4. Westmeath  1 

Of those in Derry, nearly half of are in the civil parish of Bangher.

HASSAN households in each civil parish of Derry in 1858-9.
Parish          Households
Banagher         43
Bovevagh         6
Clondermot      4
Cumber Lower  3
Cumber Upper  8
Desertmartin    1
Desertoghill      3
Dungiven          2
Errigal               3
Faughanvale    1
Killelagh           1
Learmount       6
Maghera          9
Templemore    1

OTTO thank you too and as to your reply.  I do not know if there is a connection between George, Thomas, and my Daniel.  I had known that Hassans were largely in Derry, but I cannot confirm with certainty Daniel's birthplace but I took the shot at Derry County.  You have given me strong indication that the odds are against another place other than Derry.

Do you have any marriages of HASSANs before 1832 from your sources? 

He immigrated to the US aboard the Berlin in July 1850, arriving in New York on the 10th of July 1850.  He was 18 at the time and hence my determining that his birth was in 1832 and parents would be married around that same time if not earlier.

Thank you both for your replies!

Regards,
Matt

Seeking information on Daniel HASSAN who was born about 1832 in Ireland.  Arrived in NY in 1850 and died in NY approximately 1863.  Married Ann MCLEAN, had at least one son, William Joseph HASSAN my g-g-grandfather.

1. Would like to find any record of him in Ireland.  Looking to establish specific birth place, parents, etc.
2. Would like to find any record of his death in NY. Looking for cemetery record specifically.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards and Thank you.
