Transcription and reasoning
Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 3/4, tier record.
The image shows the Wood household, including son Franklin, age 15, born New Jersey. That fits a Franklin Wood born about 1895. The record supports the first name and surname but does not show the middle initial G, so the full name is only consistent.
Matches: Household of George S. Wood (head, 51) and Mary B. (wife, 48), sheet 4A, Chicago Ward 7, Cook, Illinois, ED 436; A son is listed as "Franklin", age 15, single, born New Jersey; Age 15 in April 1910 implies a birth around 1894–95, which fits the claimed 1895; Surname Wood matches, and the father's birthplace (Canada–English) is given for the family
Limits: The census shows only "Franklin" with no middle initial, so the "G" in Franklin G Wood is not confirmed; A census gives an age, not a birth date, and says nothing about the 1918 death; The handwriting is small, so the exact first name is read from a low-resolution image
What it supports
- Person — Franklin G Wood
