Another response from Tom Pullum:

* If the child is not in the household, which happens if the child has died or is alive but elsewhere,
* use the mother's line number as a proxy
* 90 in the next line is arbitrary
replace hvidx=v003 if hvidx==0 | hvidx>90

Then you will retain the children who have died.

Please let me know if this works.
