This is a final attempt at resolving this Doc’s offering.
I see JANJAWID for 6d, but still do not see how it fits with the others. Before I abandon, can anyone tell me if my letters for the other Unclueds are correct? Thanks in advance!
1a - JANEI?E
6a - JANE DOE
12a - JAN?TO? (JANITOR)
1d- JANN?C? ( JANNICE )
6d - JAN?A?ID
22d - JANSENISM
26d - JANKE?S
27d - JANS?YS
28d - JANGLE

They all start JAN- and are all in Chambers Word WIZARD.
Matakari, I'm afraid I gave up earlier when you mentioned not understanding how Janjawid fitted with the theme! I realised you probably hadn't 'got' the theme, you maybe had just read what it was.

Novaljis, I suggested wordwizard to Matakari earlier, but I don't think he could have explored that avenue.

I saw that NACW. I don't think we can help any more.
Thanks, Novalis - and sorry for mistyping your name last time!
I don't mind what you call me NACW provided you don't call me late for dinner.
Thanks, Novalis, I'll remember that in future!
The ones you have are right apart from 'jannice' - 1d is JANNOCK.
1a JANEITE
26d JANKERS
27d JANSKYS
'Inst' is short for 'instant', the present month (which is now 'ult'/ 'ultima - the last one JANuary).
...well, nearly the last one.
PM, Good of you to help.

PS I'm a fan of acknowledgements!
