Ah, yes, non-standard _MARR hence no prefix makes sense now that you write it.

On that subject I wonder of we are talking at cross-purposes.

If you enter the man’s name using the surname prefix, and his surname as “Bourbon”, and let the NAME part set itself automatically, it produces GEDCOM like:

1 NAME John /de Bourbon/
2 GIVN John
2 SPFX de
2 SURN Bourbon

When you then add a wife, the system will automatically set her married surname (on screen) to “de Bourbon”, and her GEDCOM will be:

1 NAME Mary /Smith/
2 GIVN Mary
2 SURN Smith
2 _MARNM Mary /de Osborne/

I’ve just tested this so I know its true 🙂

(ps – sorry for any confusion cause by me using “_MARR” in my earlier reply. You can see I’ve now corrected it.)
