Hi Sylvie
Beds is usually one of the most straightforward counties to research as virtually all parish registers up to 1812 have been extracted onto the IGI, and many post 1812 records as well, with the BVRI picking up a lot of what's missing from the IGI.
Except Westoning of course, which post 1812 isn't extracted onto either the IGI or BVRI, so to confirm Charles baptism and the marriage of his parents etc you'll need a trip to your nearest LDS Family History Centre to order and view the microfilm.
In 1841 living in Westoning were
William Bunyan 35
Elizabeth 35; Mary Ann 14; Charles 8; William 5; Thomas 3; Susannah 9 mths; all born in Beds
In 1851 Charles was an ag lab in Toddington, age 18 born Westoning. His parents subsequently moved to Luton where they appear in 1861 both born Westoning (Gladys mentioned Stapleing as the birthplace of Elizabeth, but I can't trace this in Beds. Perhaps it was shown in 1851 which I can't find yet!).
I can let you have full census details of William & Elizabeth if you need them
Regards
David
