He wont have a birt cert, you can try going to the Family search by the Latter day saints and search the IGI for a christening date.

For better results please give all the details ,name, date place as you can {pictures by me }

Looking at the 1841 Census, I wonder if Sarah was his second wife???? Look at the age of Charles
