    The way it's written means Mr. and Mrs. J B Valentine, in which case you would use J B Valentine for the name of both.

    On the City Directory project, you can create one entry since there is a prefix field for both the primary and the spouse.

    Surname Valentine

    Given Name J B

    Prefix Mr

    Spouses Given Name J B

    Spouses Surname Valentine

    Spouses Prefix Mrs
