How to refer to future married name?

[morris.merryweather]

If I'm making a list of people born with the surname Smith, and have Jane Smith who later married and became Jane Jones, what is the correct way to refer to her before marriage?

I don't want to use 'Jane Jones (née Smith) 1821-1901' but prefer something like 'Jane Smith (later Jones) 1821-1901'

Is the use of 'later' correct, or is there a more accepted way?

Thanks

It depends on what way you're entering the name.

Is it in a family tree site/programme or a write-up?

Women are always entered by their maiden names.

Maybe be a bit more specific as to what you're doing as even a write-up would have her by maiden name as the wife of Jones?

The standard historic method in UK family history, as Anne says, is to refer to men and women by their maiden name [as in maiden voyage rather than unmarried female] unless they have been adopted in which case the adopted name is used. Occasionally the maiden name is added if clarification is required [e.g. previously Smith].
This in many cases is changing to using a hyphenated or even a blended surname after marriage [e.g. Smith-Jones or even Smines] for both parties
The American method [which seems to be creeping in these days to UK family history] is to simply add the maiden name in brackets between the first name and surname [e.g. Elizabeth (Smith) Jones]

A friend of mine uses "nee" ( sorry, can't put the french accent on it) for the maiden name.

Occasionally the maiden name is added if clarification is required [e.g. previously Smith].

The 'official' word always used on birth certificates is 'formerly' where the mother is married.  Sometimes also when a woman remarries, which may lead to such marriages being indexed with alternative surnames.

A friend of mine uses "née" ( sorry, can't put the french accent on it) for the maiden name.

Yes you can, with a desktop or laptop - for é it's Alt-130.

Holding down Alt Gr while pressing the letter will also do the same... é á

Thanks for that - I knew there was a simple way, just didn't know it!

Can you please explain the Gr bit as I don't seem to have enough fingers or wide spread of my fingers to press the letter whether a or e, Alt, capital G & lower case r?
