Thanks for your information. These are both records I've found and which are confusing me. Both parents with the same name. The baptism before the birth and the location 13 miles apart.
The William I am looking to trace is shown as deceased on his sons marriage certificate in 1858.
There is a William Bryden in Thornhill married to Grace Geddes, however they do not, as far as I can see, have a son named Charles.
The William Bryden marriage to Janet Hairstones indicates them being in Morton by Thornhill at the
time of marriage. A Janet Bryden is on the 1841 census in Thornhill with children and son called Charles, one of twins which feature in our tree. William is not on the census.
