I really hate having 'UNKNOWN' listed in my tree. Risking criticism from purists, I always enter the woman's name  as her spouse's, with an asterisk in front. In that way, I can  see at a glance which family she is attached to. I'm always delighted when I can substitute eg *ANTILL (Elizabeth, who  married Thomas ANTILL 1673 in Spondon) with whatever my 7GGM's maiden  name turns out to be.(Anyone know?) In extreme cases, I've been known to enter a known daughter, giving her spouse the asterisk and any offspring with a double asterisk. Eg Debbie THORNE, spouse Colin *THORNE, Child Jackie **THORNE.  At least I then know where I should be looking.
