Your merge doesn't work as you have it because you are trying to match the births recode (BR) file to the PR file. For each respondent there are many births, so consequently the 1:1 merge doesn't work. If you tried merging using the IR file it would work. What are you trying to achieve? If you can explain what you want your final dataset to look like then I can tell you the best way of achieving that.
