[1] Ogilvie was hired by Emily FitzGerald, Duchess of Leinster, to tutor her children after the death of her eldest in London.

He was introduced to her by Dean Marley and was described as speaking with a harsh Scots voice, being dour, ungainly, often rude and frequently unshaven.

Eccentric in his age this shy, reserved, rather grubby man believed that children were sensible immature people and had an excellent rapport with them.

After leaving the army Lord Edward was appointed commander in chief of the United Irishmen just before the Irish Rebellion of 1798.

He successfully established a harbour here in 1813 and built public baths making the town one of the most fashionable watering places in the north of Ireland.
