1920 United States Federal Census

Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 2/4, tier record.
Camp Grant, Illinois, ED 171, sheet 7A, line 20 shows Norman B. Wood, age 30, born N.J. A man aged 30 on 5 January 1920 would have been born in 1889, since his November birthday had already passed. The census therefore fits the claimed year and state, but it gives no exact date or town.
Matches: Line 20 of the 1920 census sheet reads "Wood Norman B", male, white, age 30, married; Born N.J. (New Jersey), matching the claimed birthplace state; Age 30 on 5 January 1920 implies birth in 1889, which fits the claimed 6 November 1889; Wife "Mae" (age 28, born Illinois) is on the next line, so the household is shown as a couple; Father born Canada, mother born Illinois; these are not tested by the claim
Limits: A census gives an approximate age, not a birth date, so 6 November 1889 is not confirmed; Birthplace is given only as New Jersey, with no town, so Ridgefield, Bergen County is not confirmed; Handwriting on the page is hard to read, so the middle initial B (Bentley) is only partly legible; The record does not show the parents' names or other identifiers that would tie him to the claimed person
