It definitely appears to be "Fintray", any other thoughts though?
No, it's very clear.

Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

Just found it, hidden away on John Thomson's map of Scotland 1832! I missed it earlier.

It appears to be over the border with Inverkeilor Parish, it's in the green segment circled. However, there are other places within the same segment that are on Elizabeth's baptism page; Waulkmill and Bandoch. The borders of the Parish may have changed at some point.

It's just to the north of Lunan Water.

Many thanks everyone!

Well found! I didn't look at that map as I was looking for ones closer to 1793.

Comparing that with the first Ordnance Survey six-inch map it looks as if the Lunan Water had been straightened a bit between 1832 and 1860-ish - maybe Fintray was demolished then.

Thank you, I did look at it earlier but quite briefly. I think the parish boundary threw me off.

Fintr(a)y is gone by the first OS map surveyed 1859-1861.

EDIT: Yep I thought that too about the Lunan Water and it being demolished to make way for it.
