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
