Letters between Faraday and Moore survive at the Institution of Engineering and Technology. She, and her family, were close with the Swiss-born artist Henry Fuseli. She was the eldest of the five children of James Carrick Moore (1762–1860) and Harriet Henderson (1779–1866). She was the niece of Sir John Moore, a British army general in the Peninsular War, and the granddaughter of the actor John Henderson.
