The image shows the 1881 census, District 59 Shefford, page 23, family 109. Franklin Wood is listed there as a married gentleman farmer, Church of England and English origin, with wife Maria and son Arthur. This matches the occupation, religion and marital status in the claim, and the household is in Shefford county. The Granby place name comes from the citation rather than the legible page.
Matches: Page 23, family 109 (house 102) lists Franklin Wood, male, with the age partly illegible (appears to be 65 or 67); Occupation reads 'Gentleman farmer'; Religion is Ch. of Eng., origin English; Marital status is M (married), and wife Maria, 55, born England, is listed; District 59 Shefford matches the claimed county; the page and family number match the citation (Page 23, Family 109); Birthplace is given as Q (Quebec), which fits a Canadian residence
Limits: The age digit is hard to read, so a check against the 1815 birth year (age about 65–66 in 1881) is not certain; The township or town name (Granby) is not legible in the page header; it relies on the citation's census place; The census shows residence only at the 1881 enumeration, not how long he lived there; The image shows a Shefford sub-district 'b', which I cannot confirm is Granby from the page alone
