The image shows the 1920 census household of George S. Wood in Chicago Ward 3. It lists a daughter, Emilie, age 18, single, born in Illinois. The age and state are consistent with a birth on 28 Nov 1901 in Cook County, but the census cannot confirm the exact date, the county or the 'Wagner' middle name.
Matches: Sheet 3B, ED 149, Chicago Ward 3, Cook County, Illinois, matches the citation detail; Line 65: Emilie Wood, daughter of head George S. Wood, female, white, age 18, single; Age 18 on 7 Jan 1920 implies birth in 1901, which fits a 28 Nov 1901 birth; Birthplace Illinois fits a birth in Cook County, Illinois; Mother Mary (age 59, born New York) fits Emilie's mother's birthplace of New York
Limits: A census gives an age, not a birth date, so 28 November 1901 is not confirmed; The birthplace is only 'Illinois', not Cook County; The middle name 'Wagner' does not appear; the entry reads 'Emilie Wood'; Emilie is identified as this person only by name, age and a plausible family setting; Handwriting in George S. Wood's own birthplace entry is hard to read, so the father's birthplace cannot be compared reliably
