Born in 1888 in Sydney NSW, Sydney was eldest of six children of Richard Charles Moore (b1867 in Dorset, England) and Mary Elizabeth Smith (b1866 in Canada). Richard (a Farm Labourer) and Mary married in 1888 in Sydney, NSW and moved to Western Australia with their two children in 1891. Richard and Mary settled in Perth where they raised their family and Richard was a Dairyman until his death by drowning in 1909.

Sydney worked in Perth as a Dairyman and Wool Worker, serving in WWI and WWII, and caring for his mother and siblings following his father's death. Sydney died in 1964.
