The answer is Banchory Devenick!

There are two parishes called Banchory - Banchory Devenick and Banchory Ternan. Banchory Ternan contains the large village of Banchory. The parish of Banchory Devenick, several miles distant from the parish of Banchory Ternan, is mostly rural.

Silly me, for some reason I wasnt seeing Banchory-Devenick in the Virtual Volumes...but indeed there it is! Though it only goes to 1822, sadly. Thanks again GR2!
