1871 Census of Canada

Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 2/4, tier record.
The readable image shows Ann M Wood, 45, born England, wife of Franklin Wood, 55, in Granby, Shefford on page 39. This is plausibly the person, and marital status and religion fit. However, the age is about 2 years younger than the claimed birth year implies, and nothing on the page links her to the name Spackman, so the identification is tentative.
Matches: Image is 1871 census, Shefford district, Granby sub-district, and page 39 matches the citation; Household 150/167 lists Franklin Wood, 55, gardener, with Ann M, 45, born England (Angleterre), marked married; Ann M Wood's religion appears to be Episcopalian, in line with the Wood household's Anglican origin and the Episcopal entry just above; An English-born married woman of about the right age fits the claim of Married and Episcopalian
Flags: The age of 45 for Ann M implies a birth around 1826, about 2 years off the claimed 1824 (age 47); No Spackman surname appears on the page. The link rests on the assumption that Ann M Wood is Maria Anne Spackman, married name Wood
Limits: The census does not give the maiden name, so it cannot confirm that Ann M Wood is Maria Anne Spackman; The handwriting is faint, and the religion entry for the Wood household may be a ditto mark; The 1871 census only places the household in Granby, which matches the claim but gives no exact date; The 'Mary Ann' aged 50 on page 38 (Savage household, Baptist) is a different household and fits the claim less well
