Reigate Union was the name of the Registration District. The actual place of birth should be stated on the certificate.

Free Reg has the baptism of a James King on 23 Feb 1840 at Chipstead. Parents James and Elizabeth. Chipstead was in the Reigate registration District.
I note that the parents of your James appear to be James  and Elizabeth (Dodd) King
