Correctly addressed? You need to know their gender for that? Unless
you're going for
   
   J.D. Luff
   Auckland

I think you'll be able to get by without a title. If they wanted a
title I think they would have given it to you. Or do you feel a need
to know her marital status too? (BTW I know J.D. Luff is male, I'm
just trying to make a point)
