He was a successful businessman. He was a partner in a company called Moore Brothers and Company, which was a merchant firm in Liverpool, England.
Around 1852, Charles Moore bought a large house called Mooresfort in County Tipperary, Ireland. He made some big changes to the house, making it smaller by reducing it from three stories to two. He also served as a Justice of the Peace (J.P.) for that county, which meant he was a local official who helped keep the peace and deal with minor legal matters.
