Hm, if Violet and Myron were together for 20 years and in that time had seven children, then some of them must have gone to Hogwarts before Albert died. So, how is it possible nobody figured out that Violet was alive and well?
Maybe they gave the children Myron's last name, so no one had reason to make the connection.
The legalities of the whole story are pretty muddled; it would have been interesting to know what they were in the mid-nineteenth century when this happened and what has changed in current times. (The attitudes, unfortunately, still seem much the same.)
