1940 United States Federal Census

Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 2/4, tier record.
The image is readable. Line 62 shows Norman Wood, head, age 50, born New Jersey, in Two Rivers, Wisconsin. An age of 50 on 1 April 1940 fits a birth in 1889 (before his November birthday he would be 50). The record does not state the exact date or the town of birth, so it is consistent with the claim but does not prove it.
Matches: Line 62: Norman Wood, head, age 50, born New Jersey, which fits a birth in 1889 (age 50 on 4 April 1940 implies 1889/1890); Supplementary line 68 gives Norman Wood's father as born in New Jersey and his mother in Illinois, with English spoken; The household is in Two Rivers, Manitowoc, Wisconsin, which matches the citation detail (ED 36-46, sheet 1B); Wife Mae, 48, and children Franklin, Virginia, Marjorie, Katherine and Norman Jr. are all listed in the household
Limits: A census gives an age and a state of birth, not a full birth date, so 6 November 1889 cannot be confirmed; The county and town (Ridgefield, Bergen) are not stated; only 'New Jersey' is given; The middle name Bentley is not shown; the record says only 'Norman Wood'; The identification as this particular Norman Wood rests on the name, age and birth state; no spouse or parent names are given to confirm it
