Hi
Can anyone tell me where the registration district will have been for Redruth in 1839, trying to find a birth certificate, only ones that come close are camelford or Penzance
Thanks for any help if possible

It was Redruth.
https://www.ukbmd.org.uk/reg/districts/redruth.html
Bear in mind that birth registration wasn't compulsory in England until 1875 and many births went unregistered.

Redruth Registration District was created 1 July 1837 and abolished 1 April 1974 to become Camborne Redruth.

1851 census simply says he was born in England? Living in Jersey.
Peter Street, Jersey
Reference: Class: HO107, Piece: 2527, Folio: 206, Page: 33
Boase, John Head M 40 Shoe Maker b England
Boase, Betsey Wife F 40 b England
Boase, William Son M 10 b England
Boase, Mary Daughter F 4 b England
Boase, John Son M 12 b England
Marriage:
17 May 1836 at Falmouth
John Boase, bachelor to Betsey Broadley, spinster
GRO Index search doesn't show any Boase births, with a MMN of Broadley, around 1839?
But it does show:
BOASE, JOSEPH BROADLEY
GRO Reference: 1842 D Quarter in FALMOUTH UNION Volume 09 Page 83
BOASE, MARY BROADLEY
GRO Reference: 1847 D Quarter in SOUTHAMPTON Volume 07 Page 212

Have you tried looking through the scans of the parish registers on familysearch.org?
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33SQ-GGFT-9ZZ9?i=41&wc=3CB7-FMS%3A138123201%2C140652101%2C140652102&cc=1769414 (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33SQ-GGFT-9ZZ9?i=41&wc=3CB7-FMS%3A138123201%2C140652101%2C140652102&cc=1769414)
They've been transcribed and indexed, but you might find a possible error. I had a quick scan through the 25 or so pages for 1839 without success.

There's a non-conformist baptism for son Joseph here
https://cornwall-opc-database.org/
Baptism Circuit Falmouth, Wesleyan Methodist
Forename Joseph
Surname BOASE
Sex son
Father Forename John
Mother Forename Betsy
Residence Falmouth
Parish Or Reg District
Father Rank Profession
Day Month 04-Jan
Year 1843
Age Born Decr 3rd 1842
Where Baptised Falmouth W-M Chapel
but not John or other siblings.
Perhaps John & Betsey didn't get around to registering or baptising the early children?
