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.
