Poems and articles in many periodicals - see the search page.
Autobiography entitled "William Luff, An Autobiography" - I haven't got it at the moment.
Dates for him anyone?

His life is described in The Railway Signal (August 1891) pp.153-4  From the Census records he appears to have been born in 1851 and I suspect that he didn't live long after 1891.  He was a member of Spurgeon's congregation.  The account of his life is accessible at

Here are all the William Luffs I could find in the National Probate Calendar between 1931 and 1951. Was he one of these?

According to Hymnary.org, William Luff was born on May 14, 1850. I believe he died around 1936.

Thanks Marty!
The one in Buckinghamshire from the probate records was born in 1850 so that could well be the correct death date too, but hard to confirm.

HOME-CALL OF MRS. WM. LUFF

The loving sympathy of our readers will be with our beloved brother, Mr. Wm. Luff, who was called to part with his life's partner in July 1932. For her, very far better, and for him, but a short while and a happy re-union. Our brother, although well over 80, is still active, and we may well pray for him that God will grant many more years of active service.—(Ed. G. F. Vallance)

William Luff

14th May 1850 ~ 1st Oct. 1935

Our beloved friend was called to higher service on October 1st, 1935

Does anyone know if he has any connection with Ernest Luff of Frinton-on-Sea - Pilgrim Preacher, Founder of Frinton Gospel Hall and Ernest Luff Homes?
