There were two cemeteries inside the parish boundaries: the modern Wilton Cemetery (near Burnfoot Road) and the much older Wilton Old Churchyard (south of Princes Street). The latter's gravestones were removed in the 1950s though a few stones remain, positioned next to the westerly wall.

A list of monumental inscriptions in Wilton Old Churchyard was printed in the Hawick Archaeological Society's Transactions. A surname list was printed in 1939 and the inscriptions printed in earlier volumes.

See under Obituaries for details of James Wilson's unofficial register of deaths in Hawick between 1825 and 1862.

The Borders Family History Society has printed a number of monumental inscription books for Roxburghshire. This is an ongoing project. Contact them for further details (prices etc.)

Nigel Hardie is transcribing and publishing lists of pre-1855 burials and deaths based on the Roxburghshire old parish records.

The churches and churchyards of Teviotdale by James Robson was published at Hawick in 1893.

See under Newspapers for details of pre-1855 death notice indexes compiled from old Borders newspapers.
