As you know I have been writing about this family on another thread . It is confusing for anyone searching if I put her name as Rose davies when she married as Rose Jones |

You could give her an extra name eg : Rose Esther Adopted….and then add the note explaining. This way she would show as part of her new family but obviously not a child of the parents. |

Her birth mother was single ,,married later .. She is on one census as Davies and on later census as Jones I have traced more of the birth family on the census than her adopted one , ,but it is the adopted parents that she knew mainly as her family . Struggling to trace them because of the Jones surname . So many of them . |

Unless you are expecting other people to look at the tree on GR, it doesn’t matter how you add her, as long as you put info in the notes as a reminder to yourself. Hardly anybody uses GR these days |
