It looks like Clara's (likely) brother Samuel married Mary Elizabeth Cooper in 1874. There's a few newspaper items for Samuel, they are a bit of mixed bag. After Samuel's death it looks like Mary Elizabeth (1852-1932?) re-married, to George Henry Hughes (1856-1935?) in 1908.
I haven't had much luck finding other Woodward family members in the newspapers (so far) but it's a bit tricky given that Woodward is a fairly common name.
