Charles Moore was born 17 June 1804 to Arthur and Mary O'Hara Moore of Crookedstone, County Antrim.[1] He was a partner in the Liverpool merchant firm of Moore Brothers and Company.

He purchased Mooresfort in County Tipperary around 1852 and substantially remodelled the house, reducing it from a three stories to two. He was J.P. for that county.[2] Moore's only known speech in the House of Commons was in a debate on the Habeas Corpus Suspension Bill.[3]

He died 15 August 1869 at his home in Grafton Street.[4]
