1881 entry has birthplace as Horton but there is an 1851 entry birthplace Cowpen parents James & Elizabeth

Horton and Cowpen are extremely close geographically.
They were both in Tynemouth R.D.

Does anyone know where I should be looking to find his birth record apart from Ancestry?

https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/

You need to sign up for a free account to search and see results.

This database gives mother's maiden names prior to 1911 (which the old GRO index didn't do).

Like others, I can see the birth registrations for the other children on the 1851 census, and they were registered with a MMN of Blake but not spotted one for Alexander.

Slight amendment (before I'm told off  :D ) Cowpen was a township of the Parish of Horton. Alexander was baptised at St Mary's Horton on 3rd March 1850. Abode was Cowpen.

Trish mentioned she couldn't find a registration for Robert (born c 1854 per 1861 census)
He is on the GRO site in 1854 but the index has him as DENKIN Robert, mmn Blake
