The image clearly shows the 1907 Granby Anglican burial register. The right-hand entry records 'Maria Anne (Spackman), widow of the late Franklin Wood', died 21 April 1907 and buried on the twenty-third ('third' interlined and initialled W.B.L.) in St. George's Church ground. This directly states her name, including the maiden name Spackman, and matches the death year. Her stated age of 81 points to birth about 1825–1826 rather than 1824, so the birth year should be checked against another source.
Matches: Right-hand entry (Wood burial, Prov. Reg. Vol. IV fol. 180, no. 2519) names 'Maria Anne (Spackman)', explicitly giving Spackman as her maiden name; Identified as widow of the late Franklin Wood; Died 21 April 1907, matching the claimed death year 1907; Buried 23 April 1907 in St. George's Church ground; register labelled Granby Anglican, 1907; Witnesses Arthur A. Wood and Henry H. Wood; signed W.B. Longhurst, Canon
Flags: Age at death given as 81 years on 21 April 1907, which implies birth about 1825–1826; the claimed 1824 is one to two years earlier
Limits: Burial record gives an age at death, not a birth date or birthplace; Parents are not named, so the maiden name cannot be checked against a parental line from this entry
