I looked at the birth records. It appears that Charles was actually born on September 23, 1895 and the actual recording of the birth was recorded in the county register on March 3, 1896. At the top of the page it specifically states that the column is "Date of Filing Return" which is consistent with the others listed on the page. In the late 1890's, it was not uncommon to record a birth with the county officials weeks or even several months after the date of birth.
Your query says between Feb. and Mar. 1895, but it is actually the 1896 page. I hope this helps a little.
Also, it appears that he was married in Chicago in 1917, had a daughter in 1918 and was probably divorced, as he is enumerated in the 1920 census with his parents as a single man.
Here are the details:
Groom: Charles E. Moore, age 22, birth year 1895;
Bride: Helen N. Philipps, age 20, born 1897;
Marriage Date: May 5, 1917
Chicago, Cook, IllinoisIllinois, Cook County Birth Certificates:
Dorothy Alberta Moore, born February 4, 1918 in Chicago, Cook, Illinois;
Father: Charles Edward Moore, age 22, born in Davenport, Iowa;
Mother: Helen Phillips, age 19, born in Chicago, Illinois;Also, it appears that Charles has died before December 29, 1941 when his father Charles Richard Moore died in Moline, Illinois.

His father's obituary from the Moline ObserverC. R. Moore, 76, Dies in Moline

If this obituary did not exist stating that his only son was deceased, a burial in the Vacaville-Elmira Cemetery in Vacaville, California would look very interesting. The name of the decedent was Charles E. Moore, born September 23, 1895 in Illinois [per California death index]; social security number taken out in Florida; died in Solano County, California on August 8, 1963; The name and date both match. Burial in the Vacaville-Elmira Cemetery, Vacaville, Solano County, California in the "Old section D22."
