Following is a response from Senior DHS Stata Specialist, Tom Pullum:

When doing a merge you can almost always ignore v000. The id for a person in the PR file is hv001 hv002 hvidx, which will match with a woman in the IR file using v001 v002 v003 or with a child in the KR file using v001 v002 b16, but in this survey you do not have b16. You must have b16 to get a merge with hvidx, and the older files do not have b16.

The WI file has one record per household. The HR file has one record per household. I can't tell whether you are referring to the HR file or the PR file as the "household" file. You CAN merge the WI file with the HR file or the KR file with the HR file, without using the line numbers. Please tell me whether you were using the HR file or the PR file.
