The Established church ecclesiastical section of Thom's 1852 lists a W.C. Moore as being posted in Carnew, diocese of Ferns.

Found this marriage which gives us location of Rev. Moore in 1859-
On Wednesday, 10th inst., in Lurgan Church, by the Rev. William Colles Moore, Rector of Carnew, Co. Wicklow, Wm. Liddell, Esq., Lurgan, to Georgiana, fourth daughter of Robert Morris, Esq., Lurgan.

Griffith's Valuation lists Rev. Wm C. Moore in Carnew.

I'll have a look in Thom's 1863 and see if Wm snr had moved to Dublin at that stage.

this is looking very good - all the little clues are building up..

Just watch out here- I've now come across a Rev. Henry Moore in Carnew (no relation to Wm. Colles Moore that I can find).

Thank you this is amazing.  I know Annie was born in Wicklow so they may have all moved to Dublin as a family

The William Colles Moore is listed on the census entry mentioned earlier as being born in Co. Wexford - but this could still fit as Carnew is in the south of Co. Wicklow and only a km or two from the Wexford boarder.

It does seem to be coming together will your expert help.  I know my G,G,Grandmother Annie Moore was born in Wicklow in 1852 so the William Colles Moore marriage in 1876 would be too late, so I think the William Colles Moore who died in 1866 may be the man.  So that may mean that the William Colles Moore of Herbert Road, Dublin who is aged 62 a retired civil servant may be a different person and not my g,g,g,grandfather.  So far I think we have a possible three William Colles Moore's the one who died age 58, the one living in Herbert Road and the one who is the rector of Carnew?

[shanew147]

my guess is the William Colles Moore marriage and listing in Ranelagh in 1877 is Annie's brother, and he moved to Herbert Road sometime after 1894, and that Rev. W.C. Moore is their father and he moved to Ranelagh, which is in south Dublin district, sometime before his death in 1866.

just speculation at the moment - but seems to fit the facts so far.
