My characters are Victorian, and the headstone would be from the 1880's. My question is about how the headstone would read. Say Martha Smith's (for lack of originality - lol) last name had been Jones before marrying. I'm trying to figure out which variation seems most correct:
1) Martha Smith (nee Jones)
2) Martha Jones Smith
3) Martha (Jones) Smith
4) Martha Smith (Jones)
I was perfectly happy with the first one, until my beta thought it looked funny. Guess I was thinking of what I read in the obituaries, rather than what I've seen on headstones. Thanks for any light that can be shed on this.
