Stop right there. Class Address contains all data about one *person*?
Please consider renaming that class Person, and having a separate class
Address.

Interruption for a reality check:  A person may be related to zero, one
or many addresses. An address may be related to zero, one or many
persons. The relationship may take many forms e.g. "lives at", "once
lived at", "has been noticed loitering outside", ...

OK, now you can resume your normal programming ;-)

BTW, why object['name'] and not object.name?
