The image shows the right page, and George S. Wood, age 62, is at line 63. His immigration-year column appears to read 1886, which matches the claimed arrival year. The entries in that area are overwritten, so the reading is not fully certain. The census supports the year only, not a date or port.
Matches: Line 63 in Ward 3, ED 149, sheet 3B: George S. Wood, Head, male, white, age 62, married. The age gives a birth year of about 1857–58, which fits 1858.; Column 13 (year of immigration) appears to read 1886, matching the claimed arrival year.; The birthplace entry looks like a Canadian province, and the daughter Emilie's father is shown as born in Canada. This fits a foreign-born man who arrived in the US.; Naturalization columns are filled in (Na, with a year that looks like 1889), consistent with an immigrant.
Limits: The census gives only a year of immigration, not an exact arrival date, port or ship.; The immigration and naturalization entries are partly struck through or overwritten and hard to read, so 1886 is likely but not certain.; Identification as the George S Wood of 1858–1940 rests on name and age. The record gives no other identifiers, such as parents' names or a birth date.; The birthplace entry is hard to read.
