hello I don't have a surname that is very strong to use my grandfather mentioned the name of Moore, but as yet the crime doesn't match, it was said the crime was horse related, and he was living in Norfolk perhaps around great Yarmouth area,

he was due to go out to Australia in and around 1948/50 after the war. to live with the family there,
