Oh dear. Can you direct us to a photo of Julia Langdon for comparison? Not sure I've ever seen one.

I'm a little bothered by the "Clara" identification also. Susy could be with Julia Langdon (her cousin, daughter of Livy's brother Charlie), and this girl in the white dress looks a lot like Julia.
Do we know the handwriting of the inscription in that album?

yes, apologies to all, I misspoke: I do agree it is Susy on the right.
But again, to me, the one on left/ foreground does not resemble anyone very much.
