Tim Loft (great-grandson): He became bankrupt in 1937 and returned to Britain with Anastasia in 1938. May came back from Africa obviously to give birth to my grandmother. She gave my grandmother up apparently because she had been abandoned by William. She had two children with William. Olive Millar Nicol. Born in Nairobi. She later became a nun and went back to Africa as a missionary. She died in Africa apparently from complications after a crash on 20th Nov 1954. Weirdly she had for a while used my grandmother's first name Diana. Their second child was born on 11th Feb 1924 in Brighton. She was born Diana Nicol. She was officially adopted in Nov 1929 by the Bakers. She went by the name Joan Diana Baker. But there is no official record for the name Joan anywhere. She died 3rd June 1921 in Teignmouth. Devon.
