On 15 March 1860, Cazalet married Elizabeth Sutherland Marshall (d. 1888), daughter and heir of William Marshall, doctor and Danish consul in Edinburgh.[1] Their only child was William Marshall Cazalet, born 1865.[1] In 1872, Cazalet purchased the estate of Fairlawne at Shipbourne in Kent; he also owned Villa Liserb at Cimiez in the south of France, which was often visited by Queen Victoria, who became godmother to his grandson, Victor Cazalet, born 1896.[3]
Cazalet died of typhus at the Hôtel d'Angleterre, Constantinople, on 21 April 1883, and was survived by his wife.[1] He was buried at St Giles's Church, Shipbourne, on 7 May 1883.[1]
