1940 United States Federal Census

Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 2/4, tier record.
The image is readable. On sheet 7A, line 36, George S. Wood is head of household, age 48, born New Jersey, an accountant. An age of 48 on 1 April 1940 fits a birth on 30 July 1891, and the state matches. The census cannot confirm the exact date or the town of Ridgefield.
Matches: Line 36: George S. Wood, Head, male, white, age 48, born New Jersey, in Marshfield, Wood County, Wisconsin (1940); Age 48 on 1 April 1940 gives a birth year of about 1891/1892, which fits a 30 July 1891 birth; Birthplace New Jersey matches the claimed place Ridgefield, Bergen, New Jersey at state level; Name George S. Wood matches George Slack Wood (middle initial S)
Limits: Census gives only an age and a state of birth, so it cannot confirm the day, month or town of birth; Age 48 on 1 April 1940 is exactly right for a July 1891 birth (he would be 48 until 30 July 1940), so there is no age discrepancy; The record does not show the 'Jr.' suffix, so identification as this specific person rests on name, age and birthplace; Household members (wife Amanda, daughters Christina and Louise) are not part of this claim and were not checked against the tree
