In my mind you should definitely use both names, for the benefit of the
scholarship, comprehensive indexing and the reasons indicated earlier by
other posters.
As far as the format goes, I think Jones nee Smith would not be guite
fitting with reference to girl children. Is there any format that starts
Smith, in marriage Jones? This would be far more accurate.
Ms. Jones Smith would in my mind be quite confusing - think of the Dutch
art scholar Egbert Haverkamp Begemann. He is not a woman, and I am not sure
if he is even married. Yet there are non-hyphenated two-part-to-the-whole
last names. This could then lead somebody to mistake the identity of Ms.
Jones Smith.
