Hi Michele
Have you tried a death search for Johan/Johanna to try to confirm parents? There seem to be a couple of Johan* deaths with births around the same time as yours. No guarantee they are the same one at this stage though - don't have the credits to check!

There are quite a lot of Johan/Johannas in Easter Ross, it's a name I've seen a fair bit of & I think it can be pretty interchangable at times.

Best wishes
Lesley
