Where are the family in 1841/1851 

Don't forget that it was not compulsory to register a birth at this time

If a birth registration existed - it would have been found by now so you need to accept there isn’t one.

Failure to register a birth only became a fineable offence in 1874/75 so there were a great many unregistered births

I see that same info was given in reply 1 here

You also mention that you have purchased several, are you aware that you can search the GRO indexes using Surname and mothers maiden surname, link is here

I am well aware I have asked this question before, but sometimes other people join and they might also be looking, didn't realise i can only ask a question once, obviously wont bother again.

John Boase and Betsey Broadley married in Falmouth - on geneanet - do you know if their son John was born in Falmouth ?

Hi Garstonite
Thanks for that, everywhere I look all census say he was born in Redruth, but I have checked with them, bought certificates to no avail.

Using 'Phonetically similar' and 'similiar sounding' surname variations on the GRO website there is only one birth registration in the time scale  1840+/-5

BOASE, JOSEPH       mmn BROADLEY 
GRO Reference: 1842  December Quarter in FALMOUTH UNION  Volume 09  Page 83

I think that you may have to accept that his birth was not registered
