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.

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 ..."
