Notes for Clive George Moore-Gordon
His birth:

Surname   First name(s)   Mother   District   Vol   Page
Births Jun 1913   (>99%)
Gordon Clive G M Gilroy Colchester 4a 1651
_________________

This looks like his parents’ marriage, the only Gordon-Gilroy marriage on FreeBMD between 1905 and 1915:

Surname   First name(s)   Spouse   District  Vol  Page
Marriages Mar 1912   (>99%)
Gilroy Violet A Gordon Mt.Drayton 6a 1055
Gordon Frederick M Gilroy Mt.Drayton 6a 1055

But Violet Gilroy could not be found in any of the 1891, 1891 or 1911 censuses, though the last is not yet fully indexed (Jan 1911).

Loads of Fred Gordons in 1911 but no Frederick M Gordons.

This looks like the father’s birth:

Surname   First name(s)      District   Vol  Page
Births Jun 1882   (>99%)
Gordon Frederick Moore Wolstanton 6b 173

And this 1901 census is the only one that fits:
