I agree that reports should be showing the birth name. However, I don't
know that you "should" put married names in the AKA field. You "could"
do so if you wish.
I agree. Personally, I don't. Whenever I am entering information from a
document or other source, I enter the information as it is given, so the
names of Joe Bloggs's wife will be entered as Fanny Adams but when she
appears on a Census after he marriage that data will be entered as
"Fanny Bloggs ..." or perhaps from a newspaper report or letter she will
be "Mrs Joe Bloggs".
I think this is sufficient to indicate that she was known as Mrs Bloggs.
If she is a lady of the late 20th Century I may well have documentation
that shows her first as Fanny Adams and later as "Ms Adams" or as "Joe
Bloggs and his wife Fanny Adams."
