Politics
Charles Marks was appointed to the Queensland Legislative Council on 8 November 1888. Although a lifetime appointment, he resigned on 6 January 1892, as he was facing bankruptcy proceedings in relation to the RubyAnna sugar company of which he was a partner.[1] However, he was able to satisfy his creditors[2] and was reappointed to the Council approximately two months later on 11 March 1892.[3] He then remained on the Council until it was abolished on 23 March 1922.[4]
Family life
In 1879, Charles Marks married widow Elizabeth Gray Dods (née Stodart), making him the step-father of architect Robin Dods and Government Medical Officer Espie Dods and brother-in-law of James Stodart, a Member of the Queensland Legislative Assembly.
