His father died when he was just 5 years old and his mother then remarried a man by the name of Mr Reeves, who also died, and she then remarried again to a Mr Collins. When Lindsey's mother remarried Mr Reeves, he was sent to an orphanage. At the very young age of 12, Lindsey was sent out to work. He worked as a fireman on shunting engines in Portsmouth. Then on 20 November 1911, at the age of 17, he joined the Royal Marines, service number PO16212, spelling his name as Lindsay Frederick Moors and served throughout the First World War. Electoral registers in 1918 show him listed as an absent voter at 15 Station Road, Hanwell, Middlesex (now Greater London).
He married Violet Elizabeth Ivery (1899-1976) in the 2nd quarter of 1918 in the Portsmouth registration district, Hampshire and they had three children, Violet Florence Moors (b.1920), Ivy Elizabeth Moors (b.1923) and William Frederick Moors (1929-2021). All three children were born in Portsmouth. He retired from the Royal Marines with the rank of Colour Sergeant and on 24 September 1927 he was awarded his Long Service and Good Conduct Medal."
