One of my ancestors Sarah was given as being 5mths when the 1841 census was taken and not having been born in county on the 1851 census and all subsequent census records Sarahs county of birth is given as Buckinghamshire. |

I took my eldest back to the Church where I was married to have her christened so maybe the Church was her mothers family church or it could be that after the birth she was not too well and moved back to her parents for support during which time they decided to go ahead and christen the baby there |

Well it could be 'cos Dad's job took him to Hertfordshire. Don't forget that Bucks has a border with Herts so it could be possible that they just moved to the next village. |

Perhaps her birthplace is on a county boundary? My grandma's brothers and sisters were born in a village in Leicestershire but grandma and her immediately elder sister were born just over the border in Lincolnshire, falling into not only another county but another registration district! |

Where was she born and where was she christened? |

One possibility is that the mother went to stay with her husband's family for the birth. |

It sounds like she may have moved in with her husbands family for the birth. I don't know how close the area she was born in and the area she was christened in are but I don't think where she was christened is on the county border so she must have moved in with her in laws. |

Hudnall is just next to Little Gaddesden. To get to Great Gaddesden you go along Hudnall Lane then onto the A4146 a total distance by car of 3.1 miles. |

Thank you for explaining things it appears as though the family did indeed just move to the next village. |
