I have traced (with difficulty) my solider ancestor, moving in and out of a number of parishes, and
It is found in Sweden Fjelie (M) AI:9 (1848-1861) Image: 188 Page: 190, 8 lines up from the bottom
Pehr MUNTER born 3 Jan 1800 Eskilstorp, ????, ???, Malmo, 72/60. I have checked the garrison Household Examination records, but could not find him there, so need some clues where else to look. He is already 60yrs old so I would not think that he is an active solider.

I can make out a bit of the notes. The first word is "Obs" abbreviation for "observera" meaning "Observe" or "Notice". After the part that has been crossed out it reads "var Enkling i Oct. 57" meaning "was a widower in October 1857. Then it says something about "ledig till (something)". Ledig means "free" or "at leisure". It is often used to indicate a person is free to marry, but it may mean something else in this case.
Are you trying to trace him forward or backwards in time? The question marks in your comments above are about the place where he is from. It has been crossed out and is difficult to read but I believe it says "Hvellinge-Vellinge". There is another entry 4 lines below this one that is legible and it looks the same.

I figured out the "ledig till akt. (aktenskap)". It does mean he is free to marry.

I have only found one marriage for him, and she died in Nov 1837, but it is possible that he has married again. I am trying to trace him forward, as I would like to know when and where he died. He had "Moved In" from Verlinge to Fjelie in Dec 1859, and I thought that his record was him "Moving Out" to Malmo

The household record in Fjelie does mention his move to Malmö in 1860. And he is in Malmö in the household records. See here (last line): https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/C0067478_00209#?c=&m=&s=&cv=208&xywh=-317%2C2643%2C4718%2C2479 .
ArkivDigital is having a "free weekend". If you want to access it you should be able to sign up here: https://www.arkivdigital.net/users/register . It makes records much more accessible.

Thank you so much for finding him in the Household Records. Yes I am using the free weekend to try and advance what I know of this family. I will make the best use of the hours left to me.

This is the last I have been able to find of him. There is a note saying where he moves to, but I don't have time to try to find where it is right now. This is the link in ArkivDigital: https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v103172?image=9&page=2®ister_collection=28 .
