Definitely part slavic, maybe some balkan
Seems like I found her paternal grandparents. Her father was Peter Rodney Myles, who born in Scotland. This explains the lack of any information, records about his birth in England.
Sophia’s paternal grandfather was Thomas William Peter Myles. Thomas was born in Scotland or Kent, England.
Sophia’s paternal grandmother was Helene/Elene A. M. Dorand/Dorants/Doranz/Doranzs. Helene was born in Kashin, Tver Oblast, Russia.

I didn’t find any other records of them, exept family trees on ancestry (and Helene’s photos), but everything is fits perfectly (date of births, ages, names, ect, exept fact what Sophia’s ancestors might be Scottish and she didn’t noticed it before). There’s also more deep geneology of Thomas, but i dont have full acces to ancestry and cant see it, as well as Helene’s parents, but it might be Kahrlis Jacobs (of Latvia) and Christine Bertha Groppa, but it strange, since her father’s last name is Jacobs and not Dorand. Btw depends just by Helene’s last name, looks like she at least wasn’t full Russian (if she even was at all).
