Well, with so little information,
What information CAN you find, provide it here (familysearch links are quick & easy)
Log into the GRO site, and look for sampson births in the right registration district (Hungerford/ 2c)
Check out all those with a correct or near-correct MMN
PROVIDE A LIST OF THOSE YOU FIND!

There is a Sampson family on 1901 census in West Shefford. William and wife Emily Jane plus 5 children; all shown as born in West Shefford.
Have you discounted them?

I think the West Shefford family are the correct one. The eldest daughter was Eva Elizabeth Sampsom aged 7. If you check the new updated GRO birth index available on GRO website the birth was registered in Q1 1894 in Hungerford RD with mother's maiden name as Rolph. The next daughter Ethel Mary was born Q3 1895 with mother name Rolfs. Next Arthur William born Q3 1897 with Rolph, then Edwin John Q1 1899 with Rolfe and William George Q4 1900 with Rolph.
On a quick look I can't see any more after the 1901 census up to 1903.
