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.
