Janet FENTIMAN, [Father?]
Set As Default Person -
Name Janet FENTIMAN Suffix [ONS gp] [Father?] Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born 25 Dec 1920 12, Golf Road, Deal, Kent, England
- GRO ref: Fentiman, Janet q1 1921 mother's maiden name: Fentiman, Eastry RD 2a 2035; GRO online index does not show a mother's maiden name suggesting she was illegitimate
It is clear from Janet's birth registration that she was illegitimate. Since less than 6 months later in the 1921 census her mother, Mabel, was living with a boarder, Percy O'Neill, as well as with two daughters, Janet and Priscilla, it seems possible that Percy was Janet's father.
Mabel had two more children after Janet, and the second of these had 'O'Neill' as a middle name, strongly suggesting her father at least was an 'O'Neill', most likely Percy.

Other Partners: Harry William FENTIMAN m. Jun Q 1908Married Between 1919 and 1939 - Mabel, was living with a boarder, Percy O'Neill, as well as with two daughters, Janet and Priscilla, at the time of the 1921 census. Less than 6 months earlier Mabel had had an illegitimate daughter Janet; it seems possible that Percy was Janet's father.
Mabel had two more children after Janet, and the second of these had 'O'Neill' as a middle name, strongly suggesting her father, at least, was an 'O'Neill', most likely Percy.
Percy was, like Mabel, married in 1921, but however long their relationship was it seems to have ended by 1939, when they were no longer living in the same house (both were still married, though neither had got back with their spouse).
