If the daughters were averse to Violet, they probably made sure that she didn't think Frederick was her father................

And if she wasn't a sibling, of course she 'didn't look like them'

Poor Violet, she must have had a miserable time with them.............

I don't think the Tamworth family are the right ones. But I was wondering about the Hodkinsons. Definitely a possibility, I think.

OK, I've done some more research on the Hodkinsons. I looked in censuses and FreeBMD, and I think they are the most likely family, though there doesn't seem to be any sort of direct link to my family. I expect it was just a charitable impulse on the part of my great-grandparents, helping out another local family.

Is it possible for me to post a photo?

Many thanks for all your input--it gave me a boost in the right direction.
