Website of Friends of Mill Road Cemetery history reads:
'Violet and her (twin sister Rose – presumed) were the seventh and eighth children born to George Edward and Clara Paget. She and Rose were baptised in the parish of Mary the Less on April 13th 1860. She was brought up in St Peter’s Terrace which is very close to the original Addenbrookes hospital building on Trumpington Street, Cambridge. She married Charles Smart Roy in 1887 in Conway. When Charles died unexpectedly and suddenly during an epileptic fit in 1897 she was left with many debts. She was befriended by Mary Kingsley and for some time worked as a kind of personal secretary for her. In 1901 she married James Henly Batty. In the 1911 census Batty is described as an African Merchant. Mary Kingsley had met him on her first voyage to West Africa. She died on 11th September 1924 and her ashes are buried with her first husband. The funeral notice states that "she desired to send cordial greetings to all her friends."‘
