On rootsireland.ie, I found the following births/baptisms for children of David Huston and Mary Ann Coulter in Donegal. I did not find Charles. I hope the following is helpful.

             Church Baptism      Huston           William          1859  Co. Donegal 

            Church Baptism       Huston           David  1866  Co. Donegal 

            Civil Birth      Huston           David  1866  Co. Donegal 

            Church Baptism       Huston           Alexander     1869  Co. Donegal 

            Civil Birth      Huston           Henry 1869  Co. Donegal
