Elizabeth (Alaska) Mrs. Humphry Ward versus Mary Augusta Ward?

I know we avoid the title Mrs. when possible, but this is the way she published during her lifetime. There are books which have since been published under her full name. The books need to be under only one profile with the other as secondary as appropriate.

The question is, which does GR prefer be primary for all titles?


Elizabeth (Alaska) bump (I realize it was the weekend ...)


Elizabeth (Alaska) If it matters, books are currently being published under both names.

I would go with the way she was published during her lifetime as primary in this case.


Elizabeth (Alaska) Thanks, Rivka. Now I can go to work on them.
