The citation text places a Norman Wood with wife Mae in Two Rivers, Manitowoc, Wisconsin, in 1940, which fits the residence claim and the married status. There is no image, age, or occupation to confirm that this is the same Norman Bentley Wood, or to verify the occupation and head-of-household details.
Matches: Norman Wood listed with spouse Mae in Two Rivers, Manitowoc, Wisconsin, in the 1940 census, matching the claimed place and year; Presence of a spouse fits the claimed marital status of Married and relation of Head
Limits: Index entry only; no image was read; Occupation (Salesman) and the relation to head are not shown in the citation text, so they cannot be checked; No age or birthplace is given, so the identification with Norman Bentley Wood (1889–1950) rests on name and place alone; The middle name Bentley is not shown in the index entry
