The regimental registers of births, marriages and deaths 1761-2005 are indexed on FindMyPast.  A search for White in years 1865 plus/minus 5 brings up 16 births, none to soldiers of the 62nd (which I imagine your search is about).

If a birth was not recorded by the regiment ( which it should have been), then perhaps it was registered locally in which case hopefully some one with knowledge of local practice will come along.

Good luck with your continuing search!

It is with great difficulty I share with you that in the early hours of 07 August 2021, Maximilian passed away unexpectedly but peacefully.

With deep sadness,

If your William was in the British army then neither of those entries are your man. British troops weren't included on the Canadian census.
