WANTED: Information on MOORE, Ernest Howard (or other combination), bareknuckle fighter Birmingham

[Thurston Lodge]

Hi my grandfather Ernest Howard Moore or Howard Ernest Moore was born in Birmingham in October 1900. His father was a bareknuckle fighter and his mother Leah Hyams or Hyam a Jewess. I know next to nothing about them and am at a loss as to where to start for Leah particularly.

Very unsure as to where to start?

Thanks in advance

Looks to be an error in the transcription - marked as a son so must be Ernest.

So far I can't find Ernest in 1891. Should be born Warwickshire abt 1871.
