Unfortunately I didn't find anything, including a marriage, for William that would help to pin down his parents or his birth place in Scotland.There is a pedigree file for Charlotte however at Familysearch.org here:https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.2.1/3MMM-DW7... although I believe they have the wrong death info for William.Hope this helps.
