The right-hand page of this 1842 Shefford Anglican register (Drouin image) records the marriage on 1 June 1842 by Andrew Balfour, Protestant Episcopal minister, of Franklin Wood of Farnham Township, farmer, to Eliza Barber. Franklin Wood signs the entry, so the record states the name explicitly. 'Major age' agrees with a birth in 1815. The record does not show his exact birth date or anything about his death.
Matches: Right-hand entry, 1 June 1842: 'Franklin Wood of the Township of Farnham, farmer, Bachelor of major age'; The groom signs the entry himself as 'Franklin Wood'; Groom described as 'of major age' (21 or older), so born by about 1821, which fits a birth in 1815; Father named as '— Wood Esquire of Farnham J.P.' (forename left blank)
Limits: The record gives no exact age or birth date, so it cannot confirm 1815 beyond 'major age'; It says nothing about the 1889 death; The father's forename is left blank, which limits linking this groom to a specific family; Some words are hard to read in this transcription, such as the bride's township ('Scanty'/Stanbridge?) and the stepfather's surname (Griggs/Gregg?)
