John Bird - Hon. John Bird, C.M.G. (1818-1896)

Eve,
@John Bird.
The only way that I can think lf to show The Honourable John Bird C.M.G. is to place it in the Display Name field.
The Honourable John Bird C.M.G.

To incorporate it in a Name field would be contrary to Geni Standards and would distort the Search function.

The Suffix Field is also inappropriate

Geni does not show the name "Houble" so I am not sure where yiu have seen this.

Eve, - a postscript

I see that the words "Houble" appears in one of the source documents - World Miscellaneous Marriages, 1662-1945

This cannot be edited by a Geni user (or anyone else for that matter) and we can only influence what is actually captured in Geni.

Thank you John for the explanation! I suppose in time it will get sorted out. JB was a formidable Victorian and would expect nothing but the correct "form". We have done our best!
