There is an entry for William Colles Moore in Leslie's Ferns Clergy and Parishes as follows:
"He was the son of Rev Thomas Ottiwell Moore M. (see Horetown), was born in Co Wexford, ed. by Mr McKenna, ent TCD Oct 14th 1822 aged 16, BA 1828, appears to have been curate to his father in Leskinfere in 1844. He married (ML 16 May 18340 Mary Jane Boyce. Carnew Par. Reg records the baptism of 2 of their children viz William Nassau bap Sept 29 1850 and Thomas Ottiwell Ernest bap Apr 29 1955. A Tablet in Carnew church to his memory is inscribed;
2 Sacred to the Memory of Revd. William Colles Moore A.B. T.C.D who entered into his rest on the 27th day of July 1866, aged 60 years. He was rector of this parish for 19 years. a bold faithful preacher of the Gospel, unceasingly inculcating the Doctrine of the Cross, the Depravity of Man, The Godhead, The Incarnation and Atonement of Christ, Justification of Faith in Him only, the security of God's Elect and the Personality, Deity and the Operations of the Holy Ghost. This tablet is erected by his attached and sorrowing parishioners and friends who deeply feel that his removal is a severe loss, not only to the parish but also to the Church of Christ in Ireland in general and the interest of Protestanism in Ireland generally".
