Hunt family, Finmere, Oxon

[Iffley]

Hello chaps!

Am trying to locate birth records for my great-grandmother, Harriet Hunt, who I believe was born in Finmere circa 1857. The only two likely options I can find are in Wantage and Chipping Norton in the June quarter of 1856. Can anyone tell me if Finmere would have been included in either of these districts? Apologies if this is a stupid question, but I'm not too familiar with that part of the world.
