Trying to find Moore

My father was born Robert Moore but changed his surname to Muir to get into the army at a 'too' young age. He never changed it back to Moore. He was born in Tobermore, Northern Ireland, 1922. He was the eldest son of 4. He had a brother Alfred, who died of TB during WW2, a sister called Euphamie who died during the late 1970's/early 80's I think, and a sister Florence who is still alive. His mother was also called Florence (nee Bradley dob 1900?). His father was also called Robert Moore (dob 1890/1900?)and he emigrated to Canada in the 1920's I believe. It is rumoured that he started another family over there. I think he died relatively young during the 1940's. I think my grandmother had 3 siblings, Sam, Evelyn? and Ruby who I believe is still alive in Northern Ireland (Tobermore). I think Sam and Evelyn also emigrated to Canada and Sam became a Captain in the Mounted Police. My grandfather (first Robert Moore) used to work on the railways? Other names connected with the family are Johnson and McGonnegal. There is also a Spanish connection with my paternal ancestry, my great or maybe great great grandfather was called Orlando. Any bells ringing for anyone out there? I would really appreciate any feedback. Thank you.
