Please can anyone tell me if they know of the whereabouts of  Fetheressok Church in Aberdeenshire?
Cheers,

Fetteresso is a parish in the old county of Kincardineshire. Stonehaven is the principal place. Today it is part of the "new" Aberdeenshire. Could this be it?

Thanks for the photo, Jamieson. Nice to see what it looks like. Not interested in an actual grave, more where the church was.
Much appreciated,

The picture is of the old Fetteresso Church (St Kieran's) at Kirkton of Fetteresso. The present Fetteresso Church, built in 1810, is in Bath St, Stonehaven, (you can see it on Google streetview) and has no graveyard round it. Fetteresso New Cemetery is close to the Kirkton.

Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.
