there dont seem to be any munro baptisms in plaistow for that period

The daughter Caroline, mistranscribed or misheard? as Byrne

BYRNE, CAROLINE mmn MONRO
GRO Reference: 1859 M Quarter in DARTFORD Volume 02A Page 265

Thank you so much I couldn't find any baptisms either Maddie.thank you all for your help .Much appreciated

No sign anywhere of a marriage between William and Emma

As William was Irish, Byrne is a feasible spelling of his surname

Thank you very much Erika.

wow could be hope so.

I've used a few credits on Scotlands People to look at Charlotte's birth record (as posted by Rambling) .

It comes under Catholic births, but the parents' religion is stated to be "mixed" - ie - one Catholic, one not.

"Munore" looks like Munroe to me, and "Ellenor" looks more like Emmer or Emma.
The handwriting's not the clearest!
The mother of the child on the line above was called Ellenor, and it looks as if the clerk has started writing Ellenor again by mistake, then corrected the two l's to an m. The end of the name is definitely either "mer" or "ma".

If it were my search, I would be satisfied that it's the right record.

17/8/1851 is the date of birth, and 24/8/ 51 is the date of baptism.
The sponsors ( ie - godparents or witnesses) were John and Margaret Donnelly.

If you register with SP and buy a few credits (minimum 30 credits for £7.50), it will cost you 6 credits to look at it yourself, and print a copy.
Church Registers; then Births & Baptisms; then Roman Catholic Church; then Charlotte Burns 1851. No need for any other search terms.

Thank you so much for your help.x

I wonder about this family, father was from Scotland ( I think his occ' reads as Indep' Minister ) but the children aren't , there is an Emma and also a Henrietta, mother being Charlotte 'might' account for name of first child to Emma and William?

Might be worth looking into.

Although 1891 census gives William's YOB as 1825, in 1851 and 1861 it's given as 1826.

So as well as the two possible 1825 baptisms posted by Maddie, there are also these:
