    I've handled this by putting their birth surname in these [brackets].

    For example:
    born Jane Smith and John Doe, decided to use the surname Jones after they married.
    [Smith] Jones, Jane
    [Doe] Jones, John
    Jane will now show up in a list of Smiths or Jones and John will show up in a list of Does or Jones.

    If I think I need any extra info explaining the name change, I put it in a misc note or make it part of the source info.

    How should this be treated on Reunion. Their daughter will be also entered as surname Cohen-Judd. Could it be entered in Marriage details/ note etc
    You could add the "Name Change" event.

    You could use the Married Name fact field or in Marriage Notes.
