Would it make sense for his Christening to be recorded as Jan and his birth Mar?

Thanks

Perfect sense. The registration index year is organised into 4 quarters so what shows as Mar actually covers registrations made from 1st January to 31st March.

Also note that a period of 42 days is allowed after a birth to register the birth so it is possible that a birth that occurred say from 19th of November to 31st of December the previous year may also appear as an entry in the March quarter.
