I have not so far found any trace of Charles and his parents in the 1841 & 1851 Censuses covering Scotland.
The family may have migrated between his Birth and the 1841 Census, either elsewhere in tn the UK or to Canada.
As North Uist is about 20 miles N-S and 16 miles max E-W, it is doubtful that there were many opportunities to be Highwaymen to make a living and evade capture there. Also being about 25 Miles from the Scottish mainland over the notorious Minch, in the Outer Hebrides, not much opportunity to commute to the mainland and far South, for lucrative Stage Coaches.
=====================
This is the first trace I have found for Charles, his wife and children, on the LDS Family Search site-
