1930 United States Federal Census

Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 3/4, tier record.
The image is readable and the entry on line 60 is Norman B. Wood, age 40, head of household, in Madison, Wisconsin. This matches the surname, first name and middle initial of Norman Bentley Wood, and the age fits a birth in 1889. The full middle name "Bentley" does not appear, so the claim is consistent but not fully stated.
Matches: Line 60 shows "Wood, Norman B" as head of household in Madison City, Dane County, Wisconsin; Age 40 implies a birth around 1889–1890, which fits the 1889 birth year; Birthplace New Jersey, with father born in Canada-English and mother in New York, is plausible for the person in the claim; The citation detail (page 15B, ED 45, Madison, Dane, Wisconsin) matches the image header
Limits: The census gives only the initial "B", so it cannot confirm the middle name Bentley; The census gives an age, not a birth date, so it cannot confirm 1889 exactly; The record does not show the death year 1950; Identifying this Norman B. Wood with the person in the database depends on other evidence, such as the wife Mae and the children
