Apparently, the children of Violet's mother were told that their "father's name was Ernest Sampson but that he had died when (the children were) young.", leading to the children (or some of them) using the family name Sampson as their birth family name, including in their marriage details. ^[2]

In 1931, she married Robert Thomas James Hazel . ^[3]

She died in 1995. ^[4]

The father of each of her 5 children was a Chinese Cabinet Maker by the name of Sam Yick. He is listed as a witness to the birth of Violet on her full Birth Certificate (known to the family as Gladys). This was revealed to a daughter of Ruby (who then shared it with my mother - a daughter of Edna). Clara and Sam separated about 1918 or so and Edna was told her father's name was Ernest Sampson but that he had died when she was young. Subsequently, that is the name declared on her Marriage Certificate. It is believed she took the name Sampson for herself and her children to cover up the Chinese connection." - as sighted on 2023-12-30
