Transcription and reasoning
Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 3/4, tier record.
The image of the 1910 census (Chicago Ward 7, ED 436, sheet 4A) shows "Emilie W.", daughter, age 8, born Illinois, in the George S. Wood household. Her age, birthplace and family fit a birth in late 1901 in Cook County, Illinois. The record does not state the exact date, the county or the full middle name, so it is consistent with the claim rather than proof of it.
Matches: Household of George S. Wood (head, 51) and Mary B. (wife, 48) includes daughter "Emilie W.", single, white, age 8; Age 8 on 18 April 1910 implies birth between April 1901 and April 1902, which fits 28 November 1901; Her birthplace is given as Illinois, matching the claimed Cook County, Illinois birth; The family lives in Chicago, Cook County, with younger children born in Illinois and older brothers born in New Jersey, which fits a family that moved to Chicago around 1900; Emilie W. is the youngest child in the household, and the mother's mother, Emilie M. Bentley, is listed in it, which would explain the given name
Limits: A census gives only an age, not a birth date, so 28 November 1901 cannot be confirmed; Only the state (Illinois) is given as her birthplace, not the county or city; The middle name appears only as the initial "W", so "Wagner" is not confirmed; The record does not show her death year (1984)
