The image shows a George Wood, head of household, in Marshfield, Wisconsin, with a New Jersey birthplace and young children. This is compatible with a man born in 1891 in New Jersey. The census cannot give the exact date or town, and his age is not clearly legible, so it supports the claim only loosely.
Matches: Line 21 on sheet 13A, Marshfield Ward 3, Wood County, Wisconsin, is George Wood, head, married, white, with wife Amanda; His own birthplace looks like New Jersey, which fits the claimed Ridgefield, Bergen, New Jersey; His daughters' entries give the father's birthplace as New Jersey; The household of young children (Mary 6, Margaret 5, Christine, Louise) fits a man born around 1891
Limits: A census gives an age, not a birth date, so 30 July 1891 cannot be confirmed; George's age on line 21 is hard to read; it may be about 28, which would fit 1891, but I cannot confirm it; The birthplace is only 'New Jersey'; the town of Ridgefield or Bergen County is not stated; The middle name Slack and the 'Jr.' do not appear, so identity rests on the name and the New Jersey birthplace; The father's birthplace looks like Canada and the mother's New York; these are hard to read and cannot be checked against the claim here
