Hi Thomas

that looks right, is he living with Mary Jones??
cause i look at the side cause you said it was apartments it looks like he was 193 & they were in 194 have they put him in the wrong house???

Mary is down as Wife of Head.

193 & 194 are the schedule Nos not house or apartment Nos.
I think though that means that they are in different adresses (ie different houses or apartments). I could be wrong though.
