Thanks again Chris!
I have looked in Kihl parish without success, but I will look some more.
It wasn't obvious to me that Johannes' employment was a downhill progression rather than a series of lateral movements, but thank you for clarifying that. On the bright side, following his wife's unfortunate death from cancer, at the age of 54 he married a 28 year old and started a new family.
I am still interested whether we can identify a farm called Hagen near Forshaga. I have looked in Nedre Ullerud for ten years on either side of Johannes' supposed birth in 1829. I also searched for his brother Nils without luck.
Family lore, which could be true or complete fantasy, says that Johannes' father Jonas was in the Swedish Army and fought against Napoleon in the Battle of Leipzig. Can you point me in the direction of military records to see whether Jonas can be idenitified? From what I gather, I may need to know where Jonas was living at the time he joined the army in order to locate his records?
