The only Woodward/Halling marriage was William Henry Woodward to Ann Halling in June qtr 1853 Tewksbury
I think this marriage is a very strong possibility for Clara's parents
Clara is findable on 1939 on Ancestry - can;t post details
This looks to be her birth
WOODWARD, CLARA
mother's maiden name HALLING
Q3 1871 NOTTINGHAM Volume 07B Page 246
Not finding them on 1881 yet
I can't find them in 1881
But this seems to add up (of course Clara's marriage cert would help with father's name
