Place name help

[valspall]

Hi, I am hoping someone can decipher the place name given on the parish entry for my g-g-grandfather Ronald MACKENZIE born 19 May 1830 in the parish of Urray in Ross & Cromarty. The image is from Scotlands People (OPR Births 085/0020 0069 Urray). On the 1841 Census (085/00 002/00 009) he is enumerated in Moy immediately after a family in Arcan. Several of Ronalds siblings all have the same place name on their baptism record in the same indecipherable handwriting (I have attached the best example here). All help will be greatly appreciated!

  Could it be Meikle-Moy?

 One of the Scottish experts will be along shortly I'm sure

Edit - Been scrolling through the National Library of Scotland maps and can't see it marked

It was called Moye but the "e" was eventually dropped.  Today's maps - north of Marybank and just north of the River Conan at the A832 junction.  Look for Moy Wood.  Roy's Highland map is the best era map which you can access from the NLS http://maps.nls.uk

Try the Statistical Accounts of Scotland (just type that into Google) and go to Ross and Cromarty.  You might find something in there as the parish ministers usually gave good information on places within their parish.

Another thought - you could also try the National Library of Scotland as they have old maps available online.  I checked on Urrah on Family Search and it states that the parish "has no towns or villages" so the 'Meikle" could be an estate.  Two Mackenzies are mentioned as landowners:  A. Stewart Mackenzie of Seaforth and Thomas Mackenzie of Ord.  Could be related.

Meikle in Scots is "Little".

Little Moy.
