The image is an original register entry, readable and matching the transcription for the groom, his parents, the bride, the date and the place. It clearly concerns a Franklin Wood, widower, son of Samuel Wood and Abigail Church. It gives no age or dates, so the 1815–1889 lifespan is neither confirmed nor contradicted.
Matches: Image reads: Franklin Wood, widower, son of Samuel Wood & Abigail Church his wife; Marriage by licence on the fifth day of April 1866 to Maria Anne, daughter of John Spackman and Hannah Maria Hazeland; Both parties are of the Township of Granby, matching the Granby St George's Anglican register; Groom's signature 'F. Wood' appears at the foot; Widower status fits a man born in 1815 marrying at about age 50
Limits: The record gives no age or birth year, so it cannot confirm 1815; It says nothing about his death, so 1889 is not confirmed; Identification as the 1815–1889 Franklin Wood rests on the name and parents' names, which depend on other evidence for his parentage; The transcript's witnesses (T. Spackman, Thos Spackman) and officiant (William Jones) are not visible in the cropped image; only the party signatures show; The record names the mother as Abigail Church only as the groom's parent, not as a separate event for the parents
