Following is a response from DHS Research & Data Analysis Director, Tom Pullum:

I was using hv112, which is the line number of the mother within the household. For some other purposes you can use hv114, the line number of the father. These variables are coded for children under 18. In the BR file, the line number of the mother is given by v003.

IA7B is a revision of IA7A. I see that IA7B was released earlier this month, on July 3. The data files folder I was using had not yet been updated to IA7B. I doubt that IA7B differs from IA7A for this specific issue. You should use the latest version, IA7B.
