Transcription and reasoning
Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 2/4, tier record.
The image shows the head of household 'George E. Wood', age 38, born New Jersey, in Marshfield's 3rd Ward. This is consistent with a George Wood born around 1891. The census cannot confirm the full middle name 'Slack' or the 'Jr.', and the middle initial appears as E, so it only partly backs the name claim.
Matches: Household 103/114 in Marshfield, Wood, Wisconsin lists George Wood as head; Age 38 on the 1930 census implies a birth in about 1891–92, which fits 1891; Born in New Jersey, with father born in Canada-English and mother in New York, so there is no obvious conflict with the claimed person; Occupation is accountant and the family appears settled, as expected for a man of this age
Limits: The middle initial reads as 'E' (possibly 'S' in the handwriting). It cannot be confirmed as 'Slack'; The census does not record 'Jr.' or the full middle name; The record gives age, not a birth date, and no death date, so it cannot support the 1891–1977 span; The record alone does not show that this household belongs to the George Slack Wood Jr. of the database, since no parents' names or spouse links are given; The citation is for a name claim only, and the census gives just an abbreviated form of the name
What it supports
- Person — George Slack Wood Jr.
