Family information: Father was a gentleman farmer. She married Manueal Terrero in 1906, who was a member of the Men's Political Union for Women's Enfranchisement (MPU) in 1910.
Additional Information: Janie had been a member of the NUWSS but later joined the WSPU in 1908. She formed a local branch in Pinner, Middlesex, in 1910, becoming its honorary secretary. At her home there, called 'Rockstone House', she and her husband gave lavish parties for the WSPU. In 1912, Janie took part in the WSPU window-smashing campaign. She was sentenced to four months in Holloway Prison, taking part in two hunger strikes, and was eventually forcibly fed. A prison doctor called an end to this 'treatment', presumably because it was badly affecting her health, and she was released a few days before the end of her sentence. She strongly disagreed with the Pankhursts' 'ousting' of Emmeline and Frederick Pethick-Lawrence from the WSPU in 1912, and appears to have taken little part in the suffrage campaign afterwards.
