Hello Gwyn,
I think I have found the birth of your great grandfather, but in Landskrona rather than Malmö. It is a smaller town some 25 miles north of Malmö, and at the time had thriving industries based on agricultural exports and shipbuilding.
In the census of 1880 I found one man called Karl Johan Friberg born 1857 and living in Malmöhus county: Name: Friberg, Karl Johan Home parish: Landskrona Place of residence: Norra Wärn Deanery: Rönnebergs County: Malmöhus Birth year: 1857 Birth parish: Landskrona Malmöhus län Occupation: Smedsgesäll [Journeyman blacksmith] Marital status: Änka/Änkling [widow] Gender: Man Family status code: Ensamstående [single] Family no: 1 Page: 134 Row: 25
I looked up this mans birth record in Landskrona Stadsförsamling, births 1851-1861, volume CI:11, p 166v-XXX (https://forum.rotter.se/discus/messages/2450/451172.jpg) The second Carl Johan was born April 28 and baptised May 3 to the journeyman blacksmith Anders Friberg and his wife Johanna Nilsdotter living at Tärnan #22, which seems to fit your great grandfather.
On the right hand side of the record are the details about the baptism: (https://forum.rotter.se/discus/messages/2450/451173.jpg) During the ceremony child was held by the working maid Kjersti Nilsdotter from Säbyholm. The witnesses were farmhand Sven Nilsson and Ingrid Persdotter from Säbyholm and the farmhand Nils Persson from Annelöf. The mother was churched 1 June.
Here is the family at Tärnan #22 in the household examinations 1856-1858, volume AI:31, page XXX (https://forum.rotter.se/discus/messages/2450/451174.jpg) The father Anders is said to be at the sugar refinery and has no birthdetails. The mother Johanna is born i Säby parish 4 June 1835 and moved in from Säby in 1857. Later in the same year the whole family was crossed out as they moved Per Christenssons huose at Öster Wärn #22
Östervärn, which is an area in the eastern part of Landskrona, is in another volume of the household examinations, volume AI:33, and # 22 is found on page XXX (https://forum.rotter.se/discus/messages/2450/451175.jpg) According to this entry, the father Anders moved in from the sugar refinery in 1857 and was born 28 July 1830 in Annelöf. The mother Johanna, as we know, moved in from Tärnan 22. A younger brother Nils Otto was born 11 November 1858.
I havent followed the family much further than this. Many working families who were too poor to own their own house, moved every other year and it can take som time to trace all the places they lived at. So I leave all that fun to you. (http://aforum.genealogi.se/discus/clipart/happy.). I also havent followed up on that part of the census stated that Karl Johan was a widow in 1880. He would have been a rather young widower at age 23 and it would be worthwhile to check the marriage records. To search and see Swedish records you will need a subscribtion, either with http://www. arkivdigital.net (http://www.%20arkivdigital.net) or with https://sok.riksarkivet.se/ (https://sok.riksarkivet.se/). If you have a current Ancestry subscription they also have some records, but not of the same quality as the other providers.
If you want to trace your ancestors further back in time, Säby and Annelöf modern spelling Annelöv are countryside parishes just outside Landskrona. I think it is very likely that the witnesses from Säbyholm, the manor in Säby parish, were Johannas sister and brother as their patronyms all indicate that their father was called Nils. It is also possible that the witness from Annelöv was Anders brother, which would mean that his father was called Per.
