Hi Jake.
I don't think that they moved the county boders about then but the Kings Norton registration district covered bits of Staffordshire and Warwickshire even though Kings Norton itself was in Worcestershire.
The link below will tell you something about where it covered.

Is it possible that when the certificates were filled in the county was included as clarification as to which bit of the kIngs Norton district was involved?
