This couple are obviously using the Scottish naming pattern in which case John's parents would be John and Ann.

There is no birth in Leith at all for a John in 1783 and the one for 1782 gives parents as Duncan and Isabel Ross, names not used for any of the children so unlikely.

There are no births 1780-1785 for a John s/o John & Ann but extending the date criteria gives us a John b. 20 Nov 1771 Edinburgh s/o John and Ann Thomson.
