He is not on the Emibas CD but since there was a lack of transcription volunteers for some areas, Emibas is only about 75% complete.
Assuming you are correct that he was actually born in one of the parishes IN (and not just close to) the city of Malmö, someone with a lot more time than I have might be willing to check the many parishes in that city using one of the services with scanned parish records. I don't have the time. I suggested earlier that you post on the Sweden forum. Maybe someone there will find him. (It is also possible he came from a parish in the county of Malmöhus, which adds even more parishes to check, and it is also possible that he emigrated through the port city of Malmö but came from other parts of Sweden.)
Have you tried to find a marriage APPLICATION? Those often name parents and sometimes name a parish.
I think I've also suggested using the Swenson Center.
