1881 Census of Canada

Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 2/4, tier record.
The image is a readable original 1881 census page. Family 109 shows Franklin Wood with Maria (55, born England, Ch of Eng, married) and son Arthur, which fits the religion and marital status in the claim. The match to Maria Anne Spackman depends on other research linking her to Franklin Wood. The stated age is one to two years younger than the 1824 birth year, which is a small discrepancy.
Matches: Census page 23, family 109 (house 102) lists Maria Wood, female, age 55, born England, with Franklin Wood (head) and Arthur; Religion is 'Ch of Eng', matching Church of England; Marital status column is marked 'M' (married); District 59 Shefford, Quebec, 1881 matches the claimed county and year; Surname Wood is plausibly Maria Anne Spackman's married name, since she is recorded as Franklin's wife
Flags: Age 55 in the April 1881 census implies a birth of about 1825-1826, while the claim gives 1824, a gap of roughly 1-2 years
Limits: The census does not give her maiden name, so it cannot confirm that Maria Wood is Maria Anne Spackman; Granby is not legible on the image; it is taken from the Ancestry citation, and the image shows only District 59 Shefford, sub-district b; A census residence entry cannot confirm the 1907 death or the full birth date; The first name appears only as 'Maria', with no middle name 'Anne'
