Ann Catherine marks, formerly Ann Catherine Pinto is the daughter of Major Richard James Pinto. She married Michael Marks, 2nd Baron Marks of Broughton, son of Simon Marks, 1st Baron Marks of Broughton and Miriam Sieff, on 10 January 1949.1 She and Michael Marks, 2nd Baron Marks of Broughton were divorced in 1958.

It has also supported Israel lobby groups and organisations involved in attempting to counter Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions campaigns such as WIZO UK and the Weizmann Institute Foundation (See below for details of finances).
