Born into the wealthy Ancell family of Barford, Bedfordshire, Mary married William Carter, Lord of Oakes Farm in Kempston, in 1574. She had a very large family with William of 7 sons (Thomas, Nicholas, William, Oliver, Ancell, Robert, and John) and 10 daughters (Anne, Winifred, Mary, Amye, Elizabeth, Temperance, Anne, Ursula, Katherine, and Alice).
William preceded her in death in 1605, so she dedicated a brass grave marker and brass engraving of their seven sons to him, both of which still exist in the parish church. She followed in 1619, and was probably buried above William in the parish church. The brass marker has since been moved to the wall, and their burial location is marked by a cross on the floor.
