1910 United States Federal Census

Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 3/4, tier record.
The census image shows George S. Wood Jr. as a son in the household of George S. Wood in Chicago Ward 7, born in New Jersey, with an age of about 18. That is consistent with a July 1891 birth in New Jersey. The record cannot confirm the exact date or the town of Ridgefield, and the full middle name is not given.
Matches: Household on lines 2–7 is headed by George S. Wood (indexed 'Word'), age 51, born Canada-English, with wife Mary B.; Line 5 reads 'George S., Jr.', son, single, with a birth age that appears to be 18; An age of 18 on 18 April 1910 fits a birth on 30 July 1891 (he would turn 19 in July 1910); Birthplace is given as New Jersey, which matches Ridgefield, Bergen County, NJ at state level; Father is shown as born in Canada (English) and mother in New York, which fits a Wood family that had lived in New Jersey
Limits: A census gives an age, not a birth date, so 30 July 1891 is not stated; Only the state (New Jersey) is given, not Ridgefield or Bergen County; The handwritten age digit is somewhat hard to read; 18 is my best reading; The surname is hard to read and appears as 'Word' in the heading, though the household appears to be Wood; The middle name 'Slack' is not spelled out; only the initial 'S.' appears
