US, Virginia Marriage Records 1853-1935 M3WK-BJX
The Groom is Edgar Emerson. Under the box: Names of their parents is a box called Husband. Listed under that category is Alex &. Listed under the box called Mother is Elizabeth Emerson.
I am assuming that Alex is Alex Emerson. Not sure if I am allowed to type Emerson for Alex's surname because the surname is not actually typed in his box, it only shows Alex & in his box. Do I just put 'Blank' for his surname?

Since this is a duplicate question, I will copy and paste the answer I created for the other post.
The batch is M3WV-BJX
You have mixture of situations from each of the examples.
On the first two where there is no ampersand, I would not index a surname for Joseph or Bailey. We just don't know what their surname is. (Example 1)
On the next one, all four parents have a different surname. (Example 2)
When it has an ampersand like Alex & Elizabeth Emerson the husband and wife both share the surname of Emerson. (Example 3)
The next one all 4 parents have different surnames.
On the next line, Rebecca would not have a surname indexed.
And so on.
