Hi Judy, Are you sure the parent's names were not recorded in the Parish Register (which is unusual in my experience)? Even more unlikely to get a birth date and baptism date and no parents so perhaps you need to check that register again. The only other avenue I can think of are the 1841 and 1851 Censuses for the area to find the family. I don't research in Wiltshire so I don't know if they are indexed or not. The 1851 Census will give you the birthplaces of the parents if you find them.
