Thanks to you both! 

Prompted by the first response that it was a standard feature of most programs, I had another look at the GEDCOM 5.5 standard.  All I could find was:
"NAME {NAME}: =
... More than one NAME line should be used for people who were known by multiple names."

Do genealogy packages cope with or offer more than one NAME line, when importing a GEDCOM?  I imagine you could use a catch-all EVEN event to record the details of how and when the change occurred.

Hi

I found this topic via a Google search for Charles Dillon Artis, and found it very useful, so here are some more details for anyone else researching this family:

 - I've now got Matilda Artis' birth certificate from 1852 (not in any of the above censuses, as she'd married Alfred Scruby by 1871, but I imagine she was in the 1861 census), daughter of Charles, and of Anne Artis formerly Jones

 - of Motcombe Street (which still exists)

- Charles and Anne's marriage is indexed: Dec 1838 St. Geo. Hanover Sq.  vol1 p23

 - I suspect Anne had died by 1881 - the rest of the LDS transcription looks hasty (has transposed letters in 'Anniutant', 'Doemstic Servant'), and probably 'M' was transcribed at some point instead of 'W'. freeBMD.org.uk has Deaths Sep 1875   
ARTIS  Anne  61  St. Geo. H. Sq  1a 232
which tallies with an 1814 birth from the census entries

- other children also in freeBMD.org.uk

- there are records of the poulterer business (filed in a2a under corporate, not personal) in the City of Westminster Archives Centre
Record Reference Acc 2406 
in 1853-82: records
3. GB/NNAF/B33927
Anthony Artis, poulterer, Westminster
Westminster, Middlesex

I'd welcome any further information on this family or the Joneses in Whitford.
