1881 Census of Canada

Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 2/4, tier record.
The image shows the 1881 census household of Franklin Wood, with wife Maria (about 55, born England) and son Arthur (19). It fits the claimed English birth and a birth year within about a year of 1824. It cannot confirm the exact date or the maiden name, and the recorded age is slightly younger than the claim implies.
Matches: Family 109 (page 23, Shefford district 59) lists Maria, female, born England, in the household of Franklin Wood; Birthplace England matches the claim; Church of England religion and English origin fit an English-born woman; The citation's page 23 and family 109 match the image
Flags: The age appears to read 55, which implies a birth of about 1825–26. A birth on 19 Nov 1824 would make her 56 in April 1881, so the age is about a year low. The digit is hard to read and census ages are often off by a year.
Limits: A census gives an age, not a birth date, so it cannot confirm 19 November 1824; Only the given name 'Maria' appears; the maiden name Spackman and the middle name Anne are not shown; The record does not name a specific English birthplace; Identifying her with Maria Anne Spackman depends on her being the wife of Franklin Wood, which this record does not state
