In March 1976 the historian, Brian Harrison, interviewed Barrowman's brother, Barclay, about his sister as part of the Suffrage Interviews project, titled Oral evidence on the suffragette and suffragist movements: the Brian Harrison interviews.[8] He describes the life of the Barrowman family, as well as Janet's character, appearance, politics, interests and hobbies. Harrison conducted a second interview about Barrowman with her cousin, Marion Thomas, in July 1977, which covers Janet's relationship with her elder sister, Mary.
