Well travelled families?
Inspired by Vallee's well travelled family in her help request......
Who has a family where the children's birthplaces and their homes on the census show an interesting pattern of movements around the country (or the World)? One of my best travelled families are: Henry Fenton born Barnard Castle Durham married Eliza Jackman born Highate Hill children: Charles Fenton born Newport Pagnell, Bucks (baptised Luton, Beds) Caroline Fenton born Coventry, Warwickshire Ellen Fenton born Tenby, South Wales Rose Fenton born Camarthen Violet Fenton born Llanelly Edward Fenton born Gloucester William Fenton born Holbeach, Lincolnshire by 1861 they have moved again to Radford in Nottinghamshire My most exotic birthplace is Henry Macome Dalton who was born in Buenos Aires in 1834

I'm trying to think (not easy!)
Nope, can't think of any special ones! What about "what's the biggest distance between where you were actually born and what it says on the census?" I can do that one.....One of my Hornimans says he was born in Malta on the census, but his birth was registered in Stoke Damerel Devon! Distance 1,360 miles! Oh, there is...... Eli Crane and his wife Margaret X had the following children: Eli b 1841 Chichester, Sussex Samuel b 1843 County Galway, Ireland John b 1847 County Rosscommon, Ireland Eli b 1851 County Fermanagh, Ireland Theodora b 1855 West Bengal, India Cornelius b 1858 New Brompton, Kent Expect you can guess they were an army family!

I can't compete with that, but have a family with children born in 3 different countries.
Samuel James Stowell, born Westminster c 1832 married Ellen Bingham born Canterbury Kent c 1863 in Aldershot, Hants 1867. Their children were:- Philip born 1868 Sheffield Francis born 1871 Waterford Ireland Douglas born 1873 Ayr Scotland Marion bron 1875 Ayr Scotland. Needless to say, Samuel was in the army  I can do better than that Merry! Samuel's sister Catherine lists her birthplace as Westminster when she was actually born in Canada, whilst their father was stationed there.

lol *gets out tape measure!* Does it count if one of mine said Perth for place of birth, but the Ancestry transcriber (rather than the enumerator) decided that was in Australia rather than Scotland??

A selection of my Hendersons:
James (born Aberdeen) and Anna (born Dublin) had Hamilton and Charles (born South Australia) Mary (born Southampton) and 5 more born Truro Hamilton married Isabella (born London) and had 3 children in Madras 2 in St Croix, Danish West Indies 1 in Folkestone 1 in Truro The connection is a mixture of Army and mining engineering careers. They ended up in Truro mining china clay as did later generations.
