He was the younger brother of the officer and Orientalist William Ouseley (1767-1842). In 1787, Gore Ouseley moved to India, where he became a successful trader, and established in 1792 a textile factory in the Dacca province, Bengal. He was, however, not associated with the East India Company. Ouseley used his leisure time to study languages, especially Persian, Sanskrit and Arabic, and became well-versed in Persian language and customs.
