John Marks Forster was born in Poland, as was his wife Maggie. They married sometime after the 1891 census because on the 1911 they have been married 19 years & I have Maggie on the 1891 at home in Grimsby with her parents Benjamin & Yetta. |

I deleted the 1890 after finding wrong. Maggie Coen married George Wooleey. They are on the 1891 census. Sorry |

I think I may have the answer on Family Search if you search for Percy Forster it gives you several immigration cards for Rio de Janeiro..Percy was a journalist and states he was born 18/01/1900 Leeds. He went to and fro several times between 1940 (when he was a married man) and 1953. The names of his parents vary on some of the cards but I am sure they are the people you are looking for. You can look at the cards and each has a large, clear photo of him on it. He certainly looks Jewish. On one or more occassions he puts his parents as Juan Marco and Millicent Kohan on others they are John and Millicent Forster and many variations in between. |
