1945 Married John Norman Hardwich who at the time was working as an engineer in the High Voltage Research Laboratory Metropolitan-Vickers Electrical Co. He was an associate and also a keen supporter of the Women's Engineering Society, and he shared the burdens of running the home to allow Isabel to continue working at Metropolitan-Vickers.

Hardwich's archive is held at the Institution of Engineering and Technology. The Women's Engineering Society has awarded the Isabel Hardwich medal, named in her honour, since 1987. This is given to a member who has made an outstanding and sustained contribution to the Society over a number of years and gone above and beyond the call of duty.
