"Wat is yer name, and wat 'oose do yeh live in?" With the word, Hoose, do I type a 6 or 9 to replace the letter H?

Did my research mostly through my sister, (a graduate student in English Lit), and I read Strunk & White from cover to cover, although I can't remember if it has anything about apostrophes in it.

I'm editing a novel which has some slang in some of the dialogue. I wanted to be certain I was using (usin')the apostrophe properly. This helped. THANK YOU!
