Isabel married Robert Conyers,^[1][2][3] son of John de Conyers and Elizabeth de Aton.^[5][6] Given her birth date of about 1387, and the fact that she had 8 children, they probably married before 1420 - probably some years earlier, quite likely before 1410. They had the following children, all named in their father's Will:^[9]

• Isabel, who married Thomas Clervaux^[5][6]
• Margaret^[5][6]
• Katherine^[5][6]

• Beatrice^[5][6]

Isabel brought her husband property at Castle Carlton, Lincolnshire.^[7]

Isabel was alive when her mother died in 1427. Her husband died on 25 or 26 April 1431, and she predeceased him.^[5][6][7]
