1881 Census of Canada

Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): supports, confidence 4/4, tier record.
The original census image is readable. Page 23, family 109 has Franklin Wood, a Quebec-born English Church of England gentleman farmer, with wife Maria and son Arthur. This directly supports the name Franklin Wood. The age is only partly legible, so the record is not used to check the dates.
Matches: Page 23, family no. 109 (house 102) matches the citation detail; Entry reads "Wood, Franklin", male, born in Quebec, Church of England, English origin, "Gentleman farmer", married; Wife Maria (England) and son Arthur are listed in the same household; District 59 Shefford, sub-district b, matches the citation place (Shefford, Quebec)
Limits: The census gives an age, not a birth date. The age is hard to read, but it appears to be in the 60s, which would fit a birth around 1815.; The claim concerns only the name, so the record does not confirm the 1815–1889 dates.; The image shows the district as Shefford, but the sub-district name Granby is not legible on this page.
