Help needed on Collins-Moore Clergyman from Wicklow

[shanew147]

Eglinton Terrace is likely the name of a group of houses, not a street, going by this-

I've found a possible listing in the Ranelagh section of Thom's 1877
   # 2  W.N.C. Moore. esq  Eglinton Tce (Ranelagh Road)
next door at #1 is a Rev. Morgan W. Jellet M.A. L.L.D. curate of St. Peters

I think you're right with this.. my Grandfather had his Chemist shop on Ranelagh Road, but the actual address was Macgowan Terrace, and it has the same type of listing with Ranelagh Rd in brackets.

would my great,gt,gt Grandfather (collins-moore) who is a clergyman be connected with St Pauls then going by the fact that at no.1. lived the Curator?

[shanew147]

I listed the clergyman at #1 in case there was a connection, but there no indication in the listing that W.N.C is a clergyman. Usually there's is a prefix included (like Rev.) or initials etc after a name, plus he does not seem to be listed in the ecclesiastical section of the directory that I can find.

I think his surname is just Moore, rather than Collins-Moore

Oh i see on the marriage certificate his profession is down as clergyman? that is why I wondered

[shanew147]

I'm not sure about the occupation question - could the address relate to another family member rather than her father. He could live somewhere else (or be deceased).

found a more details listing for the address in the 1894 editon :

 2 W.N.C. Moore esq , B.A. (T.C.D.)

yes that makes sense as he is not a witness at the marriage so perhaps he is deceased and the W.N.C. Moore is a relative as he is down as William Collins-Moore no mention of initial N

Irish marriage certificates list name and occupation of father but don't always say if father is deceased. Wonder if WCN Moore could be a brother?

Found William Colles Moore living in Herbert Road, Dublin!
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Dublin/Pembroke_East/Herbert_Road/50162/
He's age 62, Church of Ireland, retired civil servant, born Co. Wexford
wife Mary Marcella Moore and 2 servants in household.
Very nice signature COLLES not Collins- from marriage certificate I couldn't be sure of father's middle name but Colles is now more likely

[shanew147]

I would guess that the Mr. Moore listed is possibly a younger man, seeing as it seems that between 1877 and 1894  he went to Trinity Collage and studied for a B.A.

I'll look in a few more of the directories this evening and see if I can find out any more. I'm sure I've seen or heard of Eglington terrace in Ranelagh - but cant remember where at the moment... that will bug me!
