1910 United States Federal Census

Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 3/4, tier record.
The image shows the George S. Wood household in Chicago, with son Franklin, age 15, born New Jersey. That is consistent with a January 1895 birth, since he would be 15 in April 1910. The record cannot confirm the exact date, the town of Ridgefield, or the middle initial.
Matches: Household of George S. Wood (head, 51) on sheet 4A includes son "Franklin", age 15, single, born New Jersey; Age 15 on 18 April 1910 implies birth around 1894-1895, which fits 2 January 1895; Birthplace New Jersey matches the claimed Ridgefield, Bergen, New Jersey at state level; Father born Canada (English), mother born New York; siblings Norman B. (20) and George S. Jr. (16) also born New Jersey, consistent with a family living in NJ in the 1890s; Census place Chicago Ward 7, Cook, Illinois, ED 436, sheet 4A matches the citation detail
Limits: Census gives only age, not an exact birth date; Only the state of birth is given, not the town (Ridgefield, Bergen County); The middle initial G is not shown; the entry reads only "Franklin"; The handwriting is small, so the age of 15 and the surname are partly hard to read, but they appear legible; Does not show the death in 1918
