The transcribed NUMIDENT entry states the exact date (9 Jun 1915) and place (Louisville, Jefferson, Kentucky) claimed, with the expected parents. The only issue is the Find a Grave header year of 1914, which is a conflict with another source, not with this record. Without an image the entry cannot be verified directly, and the SSA data are self-reported, so confidence is capped at 3.
Matches: Transcription gives birth date 9 Jun 1915, matching the claim; Birthplace Louisville, Jefferson, Kentucky matches the claim; Name Ruth Charlton (later O'Regan) matches; Parents Albert B Charlton and Ernestine Werst match the claim note; Death 4 Aug 2007 fits the 1915–2007 lifespan
Flags: Find a Grave header (FG 173959295) gives birth year 1914, conflicting with the NUMIDENT 1915; unresolved and marked NEEDS REVIEW
Limits: Index/transcription only, no image attached, so the entry cannot be checked against the original; NUMIDENT is a derivative record: the birth date was reported by the applicant, not recorded at the event; No URL or record ID on the citation, so it is hard to re-find; Does not by itself resolve the 1914 vs 1915 conflict with Find a Grave
