Ralph Ouseley (7 May 1739[1][2]–1803[2]) was an Irish antiquarian and major in the British Army.
By his first wife Elizabeth Holland of Limerick (whom he married on 1 April 1763) he had three daughters and two sons, William who became an orientalist and Gore who became a Baronet.
[1][2] Elizabeth died on 28 November 1782, and he took a second wife, Mary Collins, with whom he only had 1 surviving child, Joseph Walker Jasper Ouseley who also became an orientalist.
[1] He was published several times in the Transactions of the Academy, including for example Ouseley 1788 which recounted his discovery of three Later Bronze Age horns in Carrigogunnell, County Limerick.
[1] A partial account of his personal collection of antiquities was reported by Charles Étienne Coquebert de Montbret [fr], who visited him in 1790.
