The second entry on the right-hand page of the 1842 Shefford Anglican register records the marriage on 1 June 1842 of Franklin Wood of Farnham, farmer, to Eliza Barber of Granby, both of major age. The entry also names the groom's father as Wood Esquire, J.P., the bride's mother as Mrs Siggs (by her former husband), and the witnesses Jared Siggs and Hugh McClintick. Every detail in the claim note matches the entry. The bride signed what appears to be 'S Eliza Barber', which supports identifying her with Sarah Eliza Barber; the place of marriage comes from the register's Shefford label rather than from the entry text itself.
Matches: Right-hand page entry: 'Married on the first day of June One thousand Eight Hundred and forty two', matching the claimed date of 1 June 1842; Married by Special Licence by Andrew Balfour, Prot. Episcopal Minister; Groom: 'Franklin Wood of the Township of Farnham, farmer, Bachelor of major age, son of — Wood Esquire of Farnham J.P.'; Bride: 'Eliza Barber of the Township of Granby, Spinster also of major age, daughter of Mrs Siggs of Granby by her former husband'; Witnesses: Jared Siggs, her step-father, and Hugh McClintick, neighbour; Bride's signature appears to read 'S Eliza Barber', which fits the tree name Sarah Eliza Barber; Register label: 'Shefford Anglican', 1842, which fits the claimed place of Shefford, Quebec; 'Major age' (21 or over) fits the claimed births in 1815 (aged about 27) and 1820 (aged about 22)
Limits: The entry does not name the church or place where the ceremony was held; Shefford is inferred from the 'Shefford Anglican' register label, and 'Shefford-Ouest' is a modern administrative form; No ages are given, only 'major age', so the birth years cannot be checked closely; The full name 'Sarah' is not written out; the bride's signature shows only an initial 'S' before Eliza; The groom's father's first name is left blank; The step-father's surname is hard to read: 'Siggs' in the body text, but the signature could be read 'Griggs' or 'Gregg'; The record says nothing about the death dates in the tree (1889, 1863)
