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.
