Which part of 'change the label from "O'Connor" to "OConnor"' do you not

BibTeX does not like Apostropes "'" in the label names.

el,

Actually, neither bibtex nor biblatex object to apostrophes or other accents
and umlauts, etc. It's how they're entered and I had completely forgotten
how to do it properly until this morning and recent caffinization.

The solution is to enclose the string in curly braces: {}.

Doing so for @article{{O'Connor2019}, removed that error (and revealed a
totally different complaint I'll deal with). But, there were no errors
generated with these strings:
author = {Brooks, R.P. and O'Connell, T.J. and Wardrop, D.H. and Jackson, L.E.},
author = {O'Hagan, M.},
and the other seven apostrophes because the entire string in which it occurs
were enclosed in curly braces.

The initial entry name string had an opening curly brace but not a closing
one.

Being bright-eyed and bushy-tailed upon awakening, and having consumed my
first mug of coffee, allowed me to remember this.

Regards,

Rich
