Transcription and reasoning
Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 3/4, tier record.
The image shows the 1950 census, Marshfield, Wood, Wisconsin, ED 71-22, sheet 73. Line 13 lists George J. Wood as Head, age 58, married, an accountant, with wife Amanda L. The residence, occupation, relationship and marital status all match the claim. The middle initial reads J rather than S and the age gives only an approximate birth year, so the verdict is consistent rather than fully supports.
Matches: Sheet 73, Marshfield, Wood County, Wisconsin, ED 71-22 matches the citation detail; Line 13: "Wood, George J.", Head, W, M, age 58, married, born New Jersey, occupation Accountant; Occupation Accountant, relationship Head and marital status Married all match the claim; Age 58 implies a birth around 1891–92, which fits 1891; Wife Amanda L., age 58, is listed on the next line
Flags: Given name is written "George J." and the claim is "George Slack Wood Jr.", so the middle initial reads J rather than S (the handwriting may be ambiguous, or the enumerator may have erred)
Limits: The census gives only an age, not a birth date, so it cannot confirm 1891 exactly; The census does not show "Slack" or "Jr.", so identity rests on the name, age, occupation and place; Birthplace New Jersey cannot be checked against the claim, which does not state one; The street address (406 W 6th) is not part of the claim
