In 1845 Oglander married Louisa Leeds,[1] a daughter of Sir George Leeds, 1st Baronet.

In 1854, he was appointed High Sheriff of Dorset.[2] He owned Nunwell House on the Isle of Wight, on the terrace of which stands an old gun, presented to him by the inhabitants.[3] He died in 1874, the last of the family. He was buried in St. Mary's Church, Brading (alongside many of his ancestors) and has an arts and crafts style tomb.[4] The west doorway of the Church of St. John the Evangelist, Sandown was built in the Norman style as a memorial to him.[5] His wife, Louisa, died in 1894.[6]
