Isabell Redshaw (also spelled Izabell and Issabell) was born in about 1617, probably in Sutton cum Lound, Nottinghamshire, England where her father was a yeoman. Her birthdate has been estimated to make her about 19 at marriage. From her father's will, she was the eldest daughter of William Redshaw and his wife Ann. [1] His will is transcribed here.

Isabell had three surviving unmarried sisters at the time her father wrote his will in 1641 - Ann, Mary and Sarah, all under the age of 21 years.

Isabell married William Throop at the parish church of St Bartholomew, Sutton-cum-Lound on 9 June 1636. From the original parish register of Sutton cum Lound (which is a combined register with all events entered chronologically): [2]
[1636 heading] Lound - Wed - William Throope of Haiton and Izabell Redshaw of Lound were married - June 9no[2]

Haiton or Hayton is a village about 2 1/2 miles east of Lound. The parish registers of Hayton do not survive from that time.

It is likely that Isabell received a marriage portion of about forty pounds when she married William, as her sisters were promised the same in their father's will four years later. [1]

As her father died without a male heir, his land was divided between his four daughters, with their mother allowed to remain in occupancy presumably until her death. This is not stated in the will, but is traced through a collection of land transactions, the deeds for which are deposited in the Nottinghamshire archives. Isabell and her husband William sold their portion to William Chauntry or Chauntree in 1656. Chauntrey had already bought the portions allocated to the other three sisters.

Isabell and William were parents to at least 8 children who have entries in the parish register of Sutton cum Lound, or were mentioned in wills:

1. William baptised 19 March 1636/7 at Sutton cum Lound. Bequeathed a heifer in the will of William Redshaw his grandfather. Not in England when his father wrote his will in September 1669.
2. Thomas no baptism record found in the parish register of Sutton cum Lound, but he was born before September 1641 as he was bequeathed a heifer in the will of William Redshaw his grandfather. Executor of his father's will in 1670.
3. Mary no baptism record found in the parish register of Sutton cum Lound, but was probably born after September 1641 as she is not mentioned in will of William Redshaw her grandfather. Mentioned in her father's will in 1670.
4. Issabell baptised at the parish of church of St Bartholomew, Sutton cum Lound, Nottinghamshire, England on 26 October 1645: [2]
5. George baptised at Sutton-sum-Lound on 30 January 1648/9 [2]
6. Sara baptised at Sutton-sum-Lound on 13 April 1652, buried 23 October 1652
7. John baptised at Sutton-sum-Lound on 27 October 1653. Survived both of his parents and died in 1671

Isabell gave birth to her last child in June 1658, which was was either stillborn or who died shortly after birth unbaptised. This child was buried on 19 June 1658 at St Bartholomew, Sutton-cum-Lound. An inksplot obscures the word "not" in the parish register entry: [2]
[1658] Lo[und] - Bur - A child of William & Issabell Throupe [not] Baptized was Buried the -- 19 June

Isabell was buried 3 days later, also at St Bartholomew, and her burial was the next entry in the register:
[1658] Lo[und] - Bur - Issabell the wife of William Throupe was Buried the -- 22 June
