From 1855 compulsory registration has been in force in Scotland, and records are maintained by the Registrar General of all births, marriage and deaths in the county. Post-1855 inscriptions have been recorded here if they mention a surname appearing also on an adjacent pre-1855 stone, and for some of the smaller burial grounds, all inscriptions have been recorded.
This book is intended to be of help to those interested in Scottish genealogical research. It is a record of all known pre-1855 accessible inscriptions in the Eastern Parishes of Berwickshire. This covers the Abbey St Bathans Churchyard, Ayton Parish Churchyard, Parish of Bonkyl and Preston, Chirnside Churchyard, Cockburnspath Churchyard, Coldingtham Parish Churchyard, Duns Parish Churchyard, Edrom Churchyard and Eyemouth Old Churchyard giving an actual transcription of each memorial inscription. A surname index in also included at the end of each parish section.
