Validator (claude-opus-5-5, 2026-10-28): supports, confidence 3/4, tier record.
The right-hand entry on this 1907 Granby Anglican register page records that Maria Anne (Spackman), widow of Franklin Wood, died on 21 April 1907 aged eighty-one years and was buried on the 23rd in St George's Church ground. That states the claimed death date exactly. The place of death is inferred from the burial parish rather than stated outright. The age of 81 points to a birth in 1825 or 1826, slightly later than the claimed 1824, so the birth year deserves another source.
Matches: Entry names 'Maria Anne (Spackman), widow of the late Franklin Wood'; Death date stated as the twenty-first day of April 1907, matching the claim; Register is labelled 1907, Granby Anglican (Registre photographié au greffe de Sweetsburg, P.Q.); Burial on the 23rd of the same month in St George's Church ground, signed by W.B. Longhurst, Canon
Limits: The record states burial in St George's Church ground but does not state the place of death; Granby is the parish of the register, not a stated place of death; Age 81 at death on 21 April 1907 implies birth between April 1825 and April 1826; the claimed 1824 is just outside that range, though within one year of 1825; Gives no exact birth date
