She was baptised in St. Martin-in-the-fields Church in London. In 1676, as a child of only twelve, she married her kinsman Sir Philippe de Carteret 2nd Baronet of St. Ouen, Jersey in the Channel Islands (b.1650-d.1693). The marriage contract stipulated:
“On the day of the marriage Sir Edward shall pay to Sir Philippe 1,000 pounds sterling as part of the marriage settlement.

In the north aisle of the nave of Westminster Abbey is a monument to Dame Elizabeth Carteret. The inscription reads:
"Near this place layeth buried DAME ELIZABETH CARTERET daughter of Sr. EDWARD CARTERET, Knt.[Knight], Gent. Usher of ye Black Rod in the reign of K.Charles the Second Relict [widow] of Sr. PHILIP CARTERET Bart. [Baronet] and by him mother of Sr. CHARLES CARTERET Bart.In 1679, at the age of just 15, she gave birth to the couples’ only child, Charles. He was baptized on June 4th, so apparently Sir Philippe had received his child bride earlier than what had been contracted.
Her only son, interred likewise near this place by whose decease June ye 6th A.D.1715 in ye 34th year of his age, was extinguished the eldest branch of the ancient family of the name of Carteret Seigneurs of St.Ouen in ye Island of Jersey. She died March ye 26th A.D.1717 aged 52 years".

Her monument originally consisted of her figure ascending from a sarcophagus extending a hand to an angel. In an arch a group of cherubs were shown in clouds.There was also a coat of arms. The inscription was on a narrow slab. By 1847 the monument had become dilapidated and was taken down by Lord John Thynne, Sub-Dean of the Abbey and representative of the Carteret family. He took all but the inscription slab to Hawnes (or Haynes) Park in Bedfordshire.
Elizabeth was born on 30 December 1663 and baptised at St Martin in the Fields church in London. At age 13 she married her kinsman Sir Philip Carteret (died 1693) 2nd Baronet of St Ouen, Jersey in the Channel Islands. Her son Charles was baptised at St Margaret's Westminster on 4 June 1679 with Charles II as one of his godfathers. He was Gentleman of the Privy Chamber to Queen Anne and High Bailiff of Jersey. In 1693 he succeeded as 3rd Baronet and married Mary, daughter of Amias Carteret. His son James had no surviving issue so the title became extinct.
