where did you find the family on the 1901 census  ? (i.e. which townland)

Your first step would to search for a birth for one of the children, as this would give you the father's name and mother's maiden name. It's easier to search for a marriage when you know both parents names.. especially in this case, since I presume you dont know when they married.

(census details removed - just saw that townland and census links were already mentioned by aghadowey)

the townlands of Coolinarrig Lower and Upper are near to Baltinglass and in the Civil Registration District of Baltinglass.

Assuming that the family came from this area originally then there is a good match for the birth of Thomas on the Civil BMD Index :

 Name: Thomas Moorhouse
 Registration district: Baltinglass
 Event type: Birth
 Quarter and year: Jul-Sep 1886
 Volume number: 2 / Page :   363

There's also a death for a possible father to Thomas in the same district at a time that could fit (i.e. two years after Thomas's birth)

 Name: Thomas Moorhouse
 Registration district: Baltinglass
 Event type: Death
 Quarter and year: Oct-Dec 1888
 Age : 44  (est year of birth c1844)
 Volume : 2 / page : 264

There doesn't appear to be any Moorehouse households (as either occupier or lessor)  in the townland of Coolinarrig Lower at the time of Griffith's Valuation in the area (1854).

  Occupants of Coolinarrig Lower - Griffith's Valuation

a possible sister to Thomas, from the extracted civil birth records on familysearch :

 Name: [Female] Moorhouse
 Birth date: 21 Dec 1874
 Birthplace: Coolinaing, Wicklow and Carlow
 Father: Thomas Moorhouse
 Mother: Frances Eager

The birth appears to have been registered before a name was decided.

and a possible marriage from the BMD Index :

 Name: Thomas Moorehouse
 Registration district: Baltinglass
 Event type: Marriage
 Year: 1872
 Volume : 7 / Page : 419

and a possible cross match for wife Frances :

 Name: Frances Agar
 [index details match - so Frances appears on the same register page as Thomas]
