Volume 4, page 18, sitting number 4142.

Thomas Wedderburn Ogilvy was born on 8 November 1814 at Islabank (later renamed 'Ruthven'), Forfarshire, in Scotland. He was the second son of Peter Wedderburn Ogilvy. On 7 August 1856 he married Lady Henrietta Louisa Fermor, daughter of the 4th Earl of Pomfret.

The couple appear on the 1871 census, living at 23 Grafton Street in London's Mayfair. He gave his profession as 'Colonel, retired list.'

Colonel Ogilvy died, aged 84, on 12 October 1899, at 23 Grafton Street, London. At the time of his death, he was heir presumptive to the baronetcy of Balindean, but he died during the lifetime of the fourth baronet, and so he did not inherit the title. He himself died without issue.
