Know that my wifes grandmother elsie ridgway owned the tea rooms but do not know if clara was her mum and apparently william cuff may have been married to clara but there is a story that william and brother george drowned in 1907 whilst drunk

Online newspapers around the beginning of September 1907 have reports on the deaths.  One article suggests one of the brothers was addicted to drink

It also mentions that they fell off the Roman Bridge which can be seen on a couple of the photographs
