Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 2/4, tier record.
The readable image shows George Wood as head of household with a wife and four young children. This is compatible with the claimed name in a shortened form. The census does not give the full name 'George Slack Wood Jr.', and the age is too faint to check against 1891. It therefore supports only the basic name, and identification rests on other evidence.
Matches: Line 21 of the sheet reads George Wood, head of household, in Marshfield 3rd Ward, Wood County, Wisconsin; The surname and first name match the claimed person; Household of wife Amanda and daughters Mary, Margaret, Christine and Louise fits a man born about 1891; The place, enumeration district 198 and sheet 13A agree with the citation detail
Limits: The census gives only 'George Wood', with no middle name 'Slack' and no 'Jr.'; His age is hard to read in the image, so it cannot confirm the 1891 birth year; The census cannot show the 1977 death date; The record does not name his father, so it cannot confirm he was a Jr.; Nothing in this record ties this George Wood to the specific person in the database beyond name and plausibility
What it supports
- Person — George Slack Wood Jr.
