There is just one evidence that I know of. Uriel IV Septim-Lariat able to light Dragonfires and wear the Amulet of Kings. He was the son of Katariah Septim (Who was the Dunmer and Septim only trough marriage to Pelagius III) and Gelivere Lariat. Technically none of Uriel IV's parents could pass him the Dragonblood. Unless the gift of Akatosh was bestoved also on Lariat family, since they were so closely related  to Septims. If Akatosh bestoved the gift on descendents of Tiber Septim's brother, why not also on distant cousins? If that was true, the Dragonblood would be running deep in Septim/ Lariat family. Lariats always claimed that they are distant cousins of Septims and it was mostly the Elder Council who were against putting descendents of Uriel IV on the throne. They didn't like his mother Katariah in the first place because she was a Dunmer as Empress Regent on Imperial throne (You know, that could also have been Berenziah, if Tiber didn't make her abort their child). Then they claimed that Uriel IV Septim was illigitimate son of Katariah, even though Galivere was her Imperial Consort. The only reason Uriel IV became an Emperor was because his half brother (only son of Pelagius III and Katariah, that I can never remember how to write the name out.), did not have any heirs of his own and made Uriel IV his successor.

Although we don't really have any mentions of Uriel IV lighting Dragonfires too, so it maybe possible that he became an Emperor just because he was the closest relative of the dieying or deceased Emperor. However, it would seem that even if during his reign there were no Dragonfires light, there would be daedra swarming Tamriel. The pact of Akatosh states that as long as there is a Dragonborn Emperor on the throne, who wears Amulet of Kings and lights Dragonfires, there will be no daedra walking Tamriel. As we do not have any accounts of daedra frolicing Tamriel during the reighn of Uriel IV, we can assume he really was a Dragonborn, even if he was not related to any Septims.

The third option is that Akatosh would grant the gift to anyone who would have to ascend the throne, due to the lack of any available heirs in Septim's family. That could also explain how daugher of Tiber's brother Agnorith was able to be a Dragonborn Empress. That or the gift simply was not bestoved just on general Talos, but his entire family, including his distant cousins Lariats.

All I am saying is that it is a possibility and seemingly how Hjalti's mother was most certainly a Breton and Lariat seems to be a prominent family in High Rock, claiming family connection to Septims, it seems like it fits. Although of course there is no way of knowing for certain, unless the developers would say what it is really like.
