Thanks J C K, because that is what I have been doing, whereas a colleague continually presents the first and changed names in the last name field only separated by a hyphen.
I contend his recording is incorrect for it appears as if the individual lived their entire lives with an aristocratic double barreled hyphenated surname, which is not the case.
I had hoped a senior curator would have offered experienced guidance on this, but perhaps my concern got overlooked.
