There are a William and Ann Spence in Knaresborough producing children in the 1820s. William is a butcher and a publican:

Maria bapt. 6 May 1821 William a publican
William bapt. 19 February 1826 William a Butcher
Robert bapt. 4 April 1830 William a Butcher
Ann bapt. 13 July 1835 Butcher

They appear on the 1841 Census:

with children Maria 20, William 15, Robert 11, Ann 6 and Jane 11 months.
William and Ann both 40. He a butcher.

I'm mentioning them for elimination purposes because I don't think they are your family.

The only other baptism of interest I have found is this:

William bapt. 11 May 1831
This time the father William is a labourer. Also the birth is just 2 years after George's baptism.
They are given as living at Brereton.
For George's entry they are living at "Brearton", so it looks like the same William and Ann.
