Transcription and reasoning
Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 2/4, tier record.
The image shows family 288 as 'Wood Mariah', 65, widow, born England, Church of England. The first name and the widowed English-born status are plausible for Maria Anne Spackman if she married a Wood. The record does not state Spackman or Anne, so it does not establish the full name, only that this person could be her.
Matches: Family 288 on page 62 (Granby Village, Shefford) is headed by 'Wood, Mariah', female, widow, born England; First name Mariah is a variant of Maria; Age 65 in 1891 implies a birth around 1825–26, close to the claimed 1824; Family number 288 matches the citation detail
Flags: The record gives the surname Wood, not Spackman; this fits a married name but the census does not say so; Age 65 implies a birth in 1825–26, about 1–2 years from the claimed 1824
Limits: The census gives no maiden name and no middle name 'Anne'; Nothing in the record links Mariah Wood to the Spackman family; the identification depends on other evidence; A census age gives only an approximate birth year; Household of one, so there are no family members to cross-check
