Richard, how long ago did you move?  If it was very recently, he may  be 
having an anxiety reaction.  Perhaps he is not yet fully comfortable  with the 
move.  I would suggest putting him on a very bland diet (at less  than half 
his usual amount) for a few days until his tummy settles down.   Canned 
food is usually considered bland, or you might try something as simple as  rice 
cooked in chicken broth.  Try to not make a big deal
of his vomiting, so far as he is concerned--in other words, not much  
sympathy when he throws up, but lots of love and petting when he seems to be  
feeling good.  After two or three day on the bland diet, gradually add some  of 
his regular food and see if he tolerates it.  Sometimes several very  small 
meals a day instead of the usual amount once or twice a day will  help.  
Also, be sure he has something familiar from your former home to  sleep or 
snuggle with.
 
Of course, if he continues throwing up, find a vet--surely someone near you 
 can recommend one.  There are meds that can help with a nervous tummy for 
a  few days.  Or you may want to rule out things like a tummy virus or  
gastritis.
