Messing around with the free search on the 1939 register, I've come across this entry all living in the same household

Fay E Allen 1910 Sittingbourne and Milton U.D. Kent
Frederick E C Allen 1902 Sittingbourne and Milton U.D. Kent
Lily J E Spearman 1925 Sittingbourne and Milton U.D. Kent

Frederick is Frederick Ernest Charles Allen birth reg Sittingbourne.
I've been unable to find anything about Fay E Allen except a marriage in that name in 1966 Chelmsford

No obvious death for Frederick. No birth on freebmd for Lily.

She is likely to have died in 1989, but still no birth (so far)

Any ideas about relationships, if there are any?

Disappearing, possibly for the rest of the evening, but will try to come back later.
Thank you
