Have you found the family in later censuses, which would give places of birth?

EDIT:
I'm assuming this is Mary with parents in 1851? I see your problem - the boys aren't with them:

But if this is the right family, then Mary was born Bucks after all, so we can't trust the 1841 census re the boys' birthplaces.

As you probably know, Malyon, they were not born in Buckinghamshire. (Haven't tried looking for them yet.)

You don't mention the sisters Hannah and Mary - have you found their birthplaces?
(Also not born in Bucks, per 1841 census image)
