Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): supports, confidence 4/4, tier record.
The image is the 1900 census, Philadelphia Ward 24, ED 578, sheet 10. Line 37 lists Norman Wood, son of Geo. Q. Wood, born Nov 1889, age 10, single, at school. This matches the residence, relationship, marital status and occupation in the claim. The middle name Bentley does not appear, which is a normal gap.
Matches: Sheet shows Philadelphia, Ward 24, Enumeration District 578, sheet 10, matching the citation detail; Line 37: "Norman" Wood, Son, white male, born Nov 1889, age 10, single, in the household headed by Geo. Q. Wood (line 35); Occupation column reads "at school", consistent with Student; Marital status S (single) and relation Son match the claim; Born in New Jersey; father born Canada (Eng), mother born New York; this is consistent with a family of this name; Birth year 1889 matches the claim's 1889 birth
Limits: The census gives a birth month and year and an age, not a full birth date or the middle name Bentley; Death year 1950 and the identity of the whole person are not covered by this record; Norman's New Jersey birthplace is not stated in the claim, so it cannot be checked against it
