You don't need an override for your GRO Index source - just put both names in one of the name boxes and it will read fine without bothering about an override - unless you are bothering that it then reads "entry for Joe Bloggs and Mary Smith" rather than "entries for ..."?

LOL I use a Basic style source for the GRO indexes (mostly copy and paste from FreeBMD - I use a clipboard editor to remove the tabs and replace with a couple of spaces instead) and a SourceWriter online database source for the new GRO indexes for birth and death on the GRO website. So much simpler. I just copy the GRO reference to the Credit line.

I was just watching a "Watch Geoff Live" webinar recording and it gave
me a good laugh!

Geoff was using SourceWriter and an attendee asked what the Override
button did so Geoff explained and showed how it was used but said that
"Legacy usually does a pretty good job without my need for doing
anything with that."

That's when I laughed out loud because wasn't it Geoff himself who set
up the SourceWriter templates?  So of course they do a pretty good job!

(I think the only time I have used the Override is for the England and
Wales Marriage Index and I override the citation for that because the
template allows for one surname and forename(s) but I like the
citation to read "... entries for Joe Bloggs & Fanny Adams ..." rather
than having 2 separate citations which read "... entry for Joe
Bloggs..." or entry for Fanny Adams ..."
