1871 Census of Canada

Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 1/4, tier record.
The image shows the 1871 census, Granby, Shefford, page 39, but no Spackman entry. The only plausible candidate is Ann M Wood, 45, born England, wife of Franklin Wood, 55, a gardener. She would be about two years younger than the claimed 1824 birth. Page 38 has a Mary Ann (50, born England) in the Sawyer household, but that is not the cited page and her age fits worse. The record does not establish the name Maria Anne Spackman.
Matches: Page 39 of the Granby, Shefford, Quebec census is the page cited; Franklin Wood's household (family 167) includes Ann M, female, 45, born England, which could be a Maria Anne using a married name; The given names Ann(e) and Maria/Mary Ann fit the claimed name
Flags: The surname Spackman does not appear anywhere on pages 38 or 39; If Ann M Wood is the person, age 45 implies birth about 1826. That is two years off the claimed 1824, which would make her 47 in 1871; No entry on the page names the person directly, so the link to Maria Anne Spackman is an inference
Limits: A census records the name in use in 1871, normally a married name, and gives no maiden name; The record cannot show which woman, if any, is Maria Anne Spackman; nothing on the page ties a household to her; The handwriting is hard to read, so some ages and names are uncertain; A birth year of 1824 and a death year of 1907 cannot be confirmed from this record
