1910 United States Federal Census

Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): irrelevant, confidence 0/4, tier record.
The attached sheet (Chicago Ward 7, ED 436, sheet 4A) was read. The only Bentley is Emilie M. Bentley, age 76, born Pennsylvania, so she cannot be Mary W Bentley, born 1861 in Brooklyn. Mary B Word, age 48 and born in New York, is the nearest age fit, but her surname and middle initial differ and nothing links her to the claim. The record does not support the birth claim and is probably misattached unless a link to Mary B Word is established elsewhere.
Matches: Surname Bentley appears on the page (line 8, Emilie M. Bentley); Census place, ED 436 and sheet 4A match the citation detail
Flags: The only Bentley on the page is Emilie M. Bentley, age 76, widowed, born Pennsylvania, mother-in-law of the head. She is not Mary W Bentley and her age implies a birth around 1834, not 1861; Her birthplace (Pennsylvania) differs from the claimed Brooklyn, New York; No Mary W Bentley, and no one aged about 48-49 with that name, appears on this sheet. Mary B Word, age 48, born New York, is a different surname and middle initial, and her relationship to the claimed person is not shown; The record gives no birth date, so it cannot support 20 April 1861
Limits: The image is a full census sheet, and the 1910 census gives only age and birthplace, not a birth date; Mary B Word (age 48, New York) could be a married name for a different person, but nothing on the page ties her to Mary W Bentley; The claim is attached to a citation for a page that does not obviously contain this person
