Albert Victor Dickinson, Walter Sisulu's father, went on to have another child by Walter's mother, Alice. They never officially married, and Walter took on his mother's surname, adding Max Ulyate as his middle names. Though it has not been explored, the name Ulyate was a surname of a prominent family of 1820 settlers.

Albert Victor Dickinson, whom Walter only met a few times, was born on July 9, 1886, and was the son of Albert Edward Dickinson of Port Elizabeth. There were conflicting oral reports as to whether he was a road supervisor or a magistrate, but he worked in the Railway Department of the Cape Colony from 1903 to 1909 and was transferred to the Office of the Chief Magistrate in Umtata in 1910. SA Who's Who (Attached Source) reveals that he was the Attorney General of the Transvaal, Pretoria, from 1942.
