Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 3/4, tier index.
The transcribed burial entry names Sarah Eliza Barber, wife of Franklin Wood, who died 19 April 1863 aged nearly 43. That fits a birth about 1820 and the 1863 death, so the name is consistent. Without the image the transcription cannot be verified directly, and the entry does not state the birth year explicitly.
Matches: Burial entry names Sarah Eliza Barber, matching the claimed name; Died April 1863, consistent with the 1863 death year in the claimed 1820–1863 span; Age "nearly forty three" implies birth around 1820, consistent with the claim
Limits: No image attached; only the transcription note can be judged; The entry gives her married name context (wife of Franklin Wood) but does not state whether Barber is a maiden name, though this is a reasonable reading; A burial register supports the name and age, not a precise birth date or place; Transcription is by the researcher, not an independent index
