I just read the original again, and it says:

So it sounds as if Richard/Nancy is/are a new kind of monogamous
husband-sharing female, as they are plural but have only one husband between
them - although I do think it seems certain that whatever kind of being they
is or are, their surname, rather than their abode, is Winchester.
Although in America I find that you can never take these things for
granted...
