Needing locality in Austria in 1851

My 2nd great grandfather is Waclao Wesley LC2Q-W5L who was born 17 March 1851 in Bohemia. I am trying to find the town in which he was born or married. His first wife was Marie Pavkicek LCVK-LMH. They married about 1872 in Bohemia. The only clue that I have found after years of research is the naturalization record for their son Josef Wesley LCVK-GLZ who was born in 20 July 1883 in Stronpy Austria. I have been unable to find Stronpy on a map or in google search. https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:6Z7J-RPWY

Is there someone who may have information that they can share on location variations during this time? Or share any direction on how to find this family?

Thanks so much in advance for your help in helping me to connect with my family.

    Perhaps it's one of the two places named Skoupy in Bohemia? Or one of the following?

    Sɫywky, Galicia
    Strpy, Bohemia
    Strampouchy, Bohemia
    Straný, Bohemia
    Strany, Moravia

    (Unfortunately, I can't tell anything more about them, because the FS Books version of the Gemeindelexicon isn't working for me right now; all of the pages are just fuzzy black rectangles.)
