William Gore Ouseley
Sir William Gore Ouseley (26 July 1797 – 6 March 1866) was a British diplomat who served in various roles in Washington, D.C., Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires. His main achievement were negotiations concerning ownership of Britain's interests in what is now Honduras and Nicaragua.
==Career==
Ouseley was born in London to the orientalist Sir William Ouseley and his wife Julia. He was attaché in Washington D.C. from 1825 to 1832, when he had his first book published.〔(Historical Autographs ) accessed 17 September 2007〕 Whilst he was in America he married Marcia Van Ness in 1827. Maria was the 20-year-old daughter of the Governor of Vermont, Cornelius P. Van Ness.〔(Ouseley family tree ) accessed September 2007〕 The country of Argentina was effectively created in 1826, and he was amongst a group of Britons who assisted the new country gaining an advantage for Britain, negotiating contracts for expertise such as railways.〔The Forgotten Colony, by Andrew Graham Yooll, published by Hutchison, 1981〕
Ouseley later served in Rio de Janeiro in 1832 as a consul where he rose to the rank of minister. Not soon after that he was posted to Buenos Aires where he remained until 1850.〔 His book concerning the slave trade which he published in 1850 is still (2007) in print.
Ouseley was very well connected, having a Governor as a father-in-law, a sister-in-law who was also a judge in New York and another sister who had received a marriage proposal from US President James Buchanan.〔Private and confidential: Letter from British Ministers in Washington to the Foreign Secretaries in London 1844–67 by James J. Barnes, Patience P. Barnes, Published 1993 Susquehanna University Press〕 He had but one blot on his record, having been recalled from Rio de Janeiro, although his superior was generous enough to admit that the argument that caused the recall was in hindsight found to be in Ouseley's favour.〔 In the UK, both his father and his uncle, Sir Gore Ouseley, were well-connected diplomats and gentleman scholars.〔
