1871 Census of Canada

Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): supports, confidence 4/4, tier record.
On page 39 of the 1871 census, line 15 lists George S Wood, male, 13, born Quebec, in the household of Franklin Wood (55, gardener) with Ann M and Arthur A. The age implies a birth around 1857–58, which fits. The religion column shows Episcopalian for the household, and the sub-district header is consistent with Granby, Shefford.
Matches: Page 39 shows household 150/167 headed by Franklin Wood, 55, gardener (jardinier), with Ann M (45), George S (13), Arthur A (1); George S Wood, male, age 13, born Quebec, fits a 1858 birth year for the 1871 census; Religion column reads Episcopalian (Episcopale) for the household, as in the claim; Sub-district header appears to read Shefford / Granby, matching the place; the citation gives page 39
Limits: The census gives age and not an exact birth date; The image does not prove this George S is the 1858–1940 individual; the match rests on name, age and place; The religion for George S is read from ditto marks and a faded hand, not stated on his own line; Place names in the header are faint, so Granby is taken from the citation and the partly legible header
