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.

What a lovely church. I am not sure if it is the right James Allan who was buried here in 1852. Would local people be buried here even if they weren't Roman Catholic? I haven't found a burial record for his wife, Jane Rutherford, in this church and she died in Farnachty in 1861.

I don't think there were any burials at Preshome itself. There is a Roman Catholic burial ground not far away at Chapelford near Tynet http://www.geograph.org.uk/gridref/NJ3959

Non-Catholics would probably be in the parish kirkyard at Rathven http://www.geograph.org.uk/gridref/NJ4465 and later on in the cemetery at Buckie - I am not sure when the first burials took place there.

Hi,
Just so that you can possibly rule this out, I believe that the death record in 1852 is for my 3 x Great Grandfather James Allan who was married to Margaret Thompson.  Their marriage was recorded both in the Catholic Register - Preshome, St Gregory's at Buckie and the Rathven Old Parish Register in 1831 and they lived in Clochan, Enzie. I have found birth and baptism records in the Catholic records for their children as well. Hope this helps

Hi Elaine
Thank you for letting me know. There are so many James Allan's that it can be very confusing. It was a bit of a long shot as none of the children's baptisms were RC so I think the answer is really in Rathven.
