James Wilks and Elisabeth Christian, and came from a long lineage of Manxmen.At the age of 18 he went to India on a military commission and was appointed to the Madras Army. He served as the Town Major at Fort Saint George, the capital of Madras Presidency, and was later appointed the acting Resident at Mysore. He was the author of an historical document, Report on the Internal Administration of Mysore. This was a continuation of a report on the survey of the Kingdom of Mysore undertaken by Lieut. Col. Colin Mackenzie. He also wrote the book, Historical Sketches of the South of India in an attempt to trace the History of Mysore. This also relates to the works of Lieut. Col. Colin Mackenzie. Mark Wilks was the uncle of Mark Cubbon who was the Commissioner of Mysore and after whom the Cubbon Park in Bangalore is named.After his return from India, Mark Wilks, with the active help and co-operation of James Kirkpatrick, the East India Company Resident at Hyderabad, wrote one of the first histories of medieval South India: Historical Sketches of the South of India. This volume examined the rise of the Mysore Wodeyar dynasty in the confusion following the fall of Vijayanagara in 1565.In 1813 he was appointed Governor for three years of Saint Helena. Napoleon is said to have found Mark Wilks a highly engaging and affable man. On his return in 1816 he was elected to the Manx parliament, the House of Keys. In 1826, after the death of his father-in-law, he became Speaker of the house. A portrait of Mark Wilks still hangs in the Tynwald building in Douglas.In February 1826, as Colonel Mark Wilks, he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society.He married twice. In 1813 he married his second wife, Dorothy Taubman, daughter of his predecessor as Speaker. He died at Kelloe House, Berwickshire.".
