Transcription and reasoning
Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 3/4, tier record.
The image shows the household of Geo. Q. Wood (lines 35-40) with a son "Franklin", born Jan 1895, age 5, born in New Jersey. This fits the birth year 1895 and the surname Wood. The middle initial G is not on the record, and the 1918 death is not covered, so the record is consistent with, rather than fully stating, the full name.
Matches: Line 39 shows "Franklin" as son in the household of Geo. Q. Wood (head), consistent with a Franklin Wood; Born Jan 1895, age 5, matches the claimed 1895 birth year; Born New Jersey; father born Canada (Eng), mother New York; the family is in Philadelphia Ward 24, ED 578, sheet 10, matching the citation detail
Limits: The census gives only "Franklin" with the surname Wood from the head; no middle initial "G" is shown, so the full name is not confirmed; Census does not give a death date, so the 1918 end date is not addressed; Claim concerns the name only; the record supports the first name and surname, not the middle name
What it supports
- Person — Franklin G Wood
