Walter Philip Clucas

My great-grandfather's name is Walter Philip Clucas. Death index records from Ancestry.com have his parents’ names listed as William H Clucas and May Dunlop. Though Walter's middle name is listed as "Philip" on death records and immigration/passenger lists, when obtaining his marriage certificate, I’ve found that his middle name is listed as Herbert. His father also has the middle name Herbert (full name William Herbert Clucas). I have been unable to locate birth records for Walter at this point. I've found one Walter H Clucas birth index for the same year my g-grandfather, but the maiden name of his mother is listed as "Jones." Any assistance in helping me locate information about his birth or parents would be greatly appreciated. Here is just a little summary of what I know so far:
