I don't think Kilburn was ever a registration district. I have one in my own research who was born Kilburn whose registration is Hendon (1866).
If you go to this map
http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=524500&y=183500&z=3&sv=524500,183500&st=4&ar=N&mapp=newmap.srf&searchp=newsearch.srf&ax=524500&ay=183500 ,
and follow the arrows back and forth, you will see that it is in between Hampstead, Willisden, and Paddington.
If you go to http://www.fhsc.org.uk/genuki/reg/mdx.htm , and click on various places, you will get an idea of what is in what. Hendon included Willesden at that time. Hampstead had its own district. Parts of Paddington were in Kensington.
I think it had to have been one of these, most likely Hendon.
If you're not finding it, then I think it is either misspelled in the index, in which case you may never find it, or his birth wasn't registered. Perhaps you should move on to parish registers, and look there instead. Kilburn isn't a very big place, so you shouldn't have too many to look at.

It might be useful to know that the correct spelling is Holborn - when trying to google it or whatever - although I doubt he's in Holborn anyway.
My Kilburn person shows on the census (repeatedly, if I remember correctly) as b. Kilburn, but the only possible birth registration for him is Hendon. I haven't sent for the cert, but I feel confident this is him, as the name, geography and date fit. He's not a direct ancestor, so I didn't send for it. His siblings are all registered, in Hampstead, Pancras and Kensington - all very close as well.
The LMA or the Society of Genealogists, or your local Mormon Family History Centre might be the places to look to see if there are parish registers extant. Phillimore's map book, especially the most recent edition, would be ideal for making sure you have covered the parishes in question. And let's hope he wasn't non-conformist!
C.R. Humphery-Smith ed. Phillimore Atlas and Index of Parish Registers. 2003 edition is best; view it at a library, as it's too expensive to buy if you're not a genealogist.
