Is it just Janet and Fred that you are keen to find out about. Did Janet marry if she did you would need to give her married name as well, so that the researcher that helps you has something to work on.
I found this on www.ancestry.co.uk, is this Janet and her mum and gran maybe,

Agree with person above.
That looks like Elizabeth in 1891

So Janet is born in 1891 to an unknown father.
Fred is born 1894, Joseph is probably the father but they are not married.
Eliz and Joseph get married in 1899 and Richard (John Richard Fletcher?) is born 1901.

That makes it more complicated, as Janet and Fred may have decided to use the name Gardener or Fletcher in later life.
