4 His first marriage was 1860 to Mary Ann Spencer

Not everyone registered their children properly in the early years of registration. Perhaps George & Mary were of that group.
You said you
wanted 100% certainty confirmation Though your post 1 OP
indicated you had information about 1839 birth (Mother Hunter) containing this Thomas -DOB 30.1. 1839
it does not actually say you have obtained this birth certificate March Qtr 1939You got what you accept is your Thomas Moorhouse son of George and Mary
DOB 30.1. 1839 from his
baptism-------------------------------------
YOU SAY:-
1
Baptism in Sheffield 1839 from FindMyPast,
George and Mary DOB 29.3.18392
What I believe is an incorrect GRO with DOB 30.1. 1839 to Joseph and Mary(Hunter)4 His first marriage was 1860 to Mary Ann Spencer who subsequently died .
I have no cert for that----------------------------------------------------------
My last thought on this thread !! is as thread above above, as it was not until the 1874 act of parliament that
made it law parents of a child had to register the birth but could be registered a little later.
With George and Mary have had children Charles 1833 and daughter Mary 1836 both before the start of registration 1837 -
only abt 1 1/2 years after its start year 1837 -
so maybe they were unaware of registering or telling the registrar. (who was responsibility to do it)
Best of LUCK anyway.
