Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 2/4, tier record.
The image shows the household of George S. Wood, with a daughter recorded as Emilie, age 18, single, born in Illinois. Emilie/Emily is an acceptable variant and the age fits a 1901 birth. The record does not give the middle name Wagner, so it supports the given name and surname but not the whole name.
Matches: Household of George S. Wood (head, 62), wife Mary (59), daughter "Emilie" (18, single) on the 1920 Chicago Ward 3 sheet (ED 149, sheet 3B), matching the citation detail; Daughter Emilie, age 18, implies birth about 1901–02, which fits the claimed 1901 birth year; Emilie was born in Illinois; her father was born in the US and her mother in New York
Limits: The census shows only the given name "Emilie" and the surname Wood. The middle or maiden name Wagner does not appear.; The claim covers only the name, so the record cannot confirm the 1984 death or the full birth date.; Emilie is spelled differently from Emily. This is a normal variant, but the handwriting is somewhat hard to read.; Nothing on the page shows that this household is the right family beyond the name and age.
