Following is a response from DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:

The HR file has one record per household. The household is identified with hv001 hv002.  In the HR file, hv003 is the line number of the household respondent. 

You want to match hv001 hv002  in the HR file with v001 v002 in the BR file. In the BR file, v003 is the line number of the mother. Neither hv003 nor v003 would be used for this merge. There will usually be more than one child per household, and sometimes no child in the household. It is not a 1:1 merge.
