The readable 1950 census image shows George Wood, age 58, born New Jersey, an accountant in Marshfield, Wisconsin, with wife Amanda L. The age and birthplace state fit a July 1891 New Jersey birth. The exact date and town are not stated, and the identity rests on name, age and state alone.
Matches: Sheet 73, line 13: George Wood, head of household, white male, born New Jersey; Age 58 at the April 1950 census implies a birth year of about 1891, which fits a 30 July 1891 birth (he would still be 58 in April 1950); Name 'George J.' may be a rendering of 'Jr.' for George Slack Wood Jr.
Limits: The census gives an age and a state of birth only, not the 30 July 1891 date; It does not name Ridgefield, Bergen County, only 'New Jersey'; The middle initial reads 'J.' (probably 'Jr.'), not 'S.' for Slack, so the full name is not confirmed; Nothing on the sheet independently links this household in Marshfield, Wood, Wisconsin to the person in the database; the wife Amanda L. (58, born Wisconsin) would need to be checked against his known spouse
