Sir Charles Forster, 1st Baronet

Sir Charles Forster, 1st Baronet (3 August 1815 – 26 July 1891) was an English Liberal politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1852 to 1891.

Forster was educated at Worcester College, Oxford and called to the bar at Inner Temple in 1843.

Forster supported women's suffrage in 1875, writing to the Manchester-based Women's Suffrage Journal that he "[regarded] [it] as a measure of progress, and one which cannot logically be resisted.

"[5] Forster married Frances Catherine Surtees of Newcastle upon Tyne in 1840.
