In this sentence is it correct to put the apostrophies where I put them? Jeff Simms's house is next-door to those ladies' shop. Since Jeff is one I thought 's and since there are 3 ladies who own the shop I thought s'. Please let me know if this is correct. Thank you

yeah that is right, though some ppl do not add the extra s after Simms' cos the name ends in s - either is OK
