Hi Stephanie,
I think that both of David's parents may both have died before 1841.
It has already been posted but, here is the 1841 census again..

1841 Scotland Census about David Begbie
Name: David Begbie
Age: 10
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1831
Gender: Male
Where born: Midlothian, Scotland
Civil Parish: Inveresk
County: Midlothian
Address: New Street
Parish Number: 689
Household Members:
Name Age
Margaret Begbie 20
Elizabeth Begbie 18
Peter Begbie 18
David Begbie 10

The baptisms of all 4 on this census can be found on Family Search, they will be siblings and all were baptised in Inveresk between 1820 and 1829
FS also shows another child called Jean b 1817

The parents for all are: David Begbie and ANN White
The 1811 marriage of David and Ann is also on FS ( Inveresk)
