For a general second-order elliptic boundary value problem (as indicated in the title), the authors consider its numerical solution using the nonconforming Carey element [cf. \textit{G. E. Carey}, Computer Methods Appl. Mech. Engin. 9, 165-179 (1976; Zbl 0334.65085)]. Employing estimates of the regularized Green's functions and using the property that the Carey element is an elementwise perturbation of the standard linear triangular element, they show second-order (up to a logarithm) convergence to the solution. For solutions with three generalized derivatives and for strongly regular triangulations, they also show that the superconvergent recovery formulae of \textit{C. Chen} [Stress optimal points of triangular finite element approximations J. Xiangtan Univ. 1, 77-90 (1978)] and of \textit{N. Levine} [IMA J. Numer. Anal. 5, 407-427 (1985; Zbl 0584.65067)], for the standard linear element remain true in the case considered here.
