Transcription and reasoning
Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 1/4, tier index.
The citation names only the database, the 1825 Census of Lower Canada, with no entry details, and there is no image. The year and region fit the claim, but nothing here confirms the person, the household, or the place Farnham, Bedford. At most it is consistent, and the actual entry would have to be checked.
Matches: Source is the 1825 Census of Lower Canada, which matches the claim's date of 1825 and the general region (Lower Canada, now Quebec)
Limits: No image and no transcription are attached, so the entry for Samuel Wood cannot be read; The citation does not state the name, household, or parish/township, so Farnham, Bedford is not confirmed; Nothing shows that a Samuel Wood in the census is the same man as Samuel Wood (1787-1848); Ancestry's database is an index/transcription of the census, not the original record image; Residence in Farnham is plausible for the period, but the citation does not establish it
