Biography

He was born in Tottenham to naval officer William Ogilvie, a descendant of Clan Ogilvie, and Mary White. He and his family migrated to Sydney in 1825, and Ogilvie worked for his father on stations on the Upper Hunter and Liverpool Plains. On 2 September 1858 he married Theodosia de Burgh, with whom he had ten children; he later remarried Alicia Georgiana Loftus Tottenham on 21 December 1890. He owned his own land from 1853, and in the 1860s moved from sheep to cattle.

In 1863 he was appointed to the New South Wales Legislative Council, where he remained until 1889. Ogilvie died at Fernside near Bowral in 1896. His granddaughter, Lady Jessie Street, was a prominent human rights activist who married into the Street dynasty.[1] His great-great-granddaughter is Dame Bridget Ogilvie, AC, FRS (born 24 March 1938) a prominent Australian scientist.[2]
