Hi Keith
Yes, that's my gg-grandmother Fanny Elizabeth Frazer who was housekeeper to Thomas Woodward.

I've got this fantastic family photograph with some Frazers in it:
The bride is Winifred Kate Frazer, daughter of Fanny Elizabeth Frazer and Edward John Hodges
She married her cousin, Charles Harold Frazer (known as Harold), son of Thomas Lovett Frazer
Luckily my grandfather (the little boy on the right) wrote down the names of most of the people on the photo
Those that may be interest to you (i.e. Woodward descendants) are:
the bride and groom (hopefully obvious which ones they are!)
the bride's mother, Fanny Elizabeth Hodges nee Frazer, sitting next to the bride (her husband Edward John Hodges is on the far left with the fabulous moustache)
Jane Kate Frazer, spinster, sister of Fanny Elizabeth, sitting behind the groom
two of the bride's siblings, Fanny Eliza Hodges, sitting next to the groom, and Gilbert Edward Hodges, behind the bride (his wife Frances Ellen is second from the left in the second row, and their two children are in the front row, Gilbert Randell Hodges and Frances Muriel Hodges)
There are two females in the photo who are unidentified, and the others are the family of Gilbert Edward Hodges's wife so are not blood relatives of the Frazers/Woodwards

I feel very grateful that both sides of my family hang on to amazing photos like this one - I know a lot of other people would have chucked it out years ago

You mentioned an Anne Woodward daughter of William - I have a feeling I was able to find a marriage for her as well as census records and children, so will update you when I've looked it up
