Isabel married John Gerard on 16 February 1607/8[1] in Lancashire, England.[3]

They had 5 sons:[1]

1. Thomas Gerard, Gent.,[1] married (1) Susanna Snow, (2) Rose ____[4]
2. Marmaduke Gerard of Warrington, Lancashire[1]
3. William[1]
4. Francis[1]
5. Richard[1]

Isabel died after 3 April 1632. Both John and Isabel "were parties to a 1632 conveyance with their son, Thomas, involving several parcels of land in Ashton formerly possessed by John's late father, Thomas Gerard." The date of the conveyance was 3 April.[1]

Two of Marmaduke's daughters were transported to Maryland by their uncle Thomas Gerard in 1658: Winifred, born 1639, and Bridget, born 1641.[5] If Winifred was Marmaduke's first-born child and he was 21 when she was born, that puts his birth about 1618 (not 1634).
