Transcription and reasoning
Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 2/4, tier record.
The image shows George S. Wood, head of household, age 51, born in English-speaking Canada, living in Chicago Ward 7. A June 1858 birth gives age 51 on 18 April 1910, so the age fits. The record cannot confirm the exact date or the town of Granby, Quebec.
Matches: Line 2 shows George S. Wood, Head, M, W, age 51, which implies birth about 1858–1859; Birthplace given as "Can.-English" (English-speaking Canada), consistent with Granby, Quebec; Census place Chicago Ward 7, Cook, Illinois, ED 436, sheet 4A matches the citation; Wife Mary B and several children are listed in the household; Immigration year 1885 and naturalized (Na) are recorded
Limits: A census gives an age, not a birth date, so 26 June 1858 cannot be confirmed; Birthplace is only "Canada, English"; Granby, Quebec is not named; Age 51 on 18 April 1910 fits a June 1858 birth (he would be 51), but does not confirm the day or month; The surname handwriting is slightly unclear, though it reads as Wood and matches the citation; The father's birthplace is Canada (English) and the mother's is Vermont, which is not tested by the claim
