    <children>
        <child>
            <name>jon</name>
        </child>
        <child>
            <name>joe</name>
        </child>
         <child>
            <name>alex</name>
        </child>
        <child>
            <name>peter</name>
        </child>
   </children>
   <address>My home street</address>
</client>

<client>
    <name>bill</name>
    <child>
        <name>jon</name>
    </child>
    <child>
