"registres paroissiaux", is a term needed to do internet searching in France sometimes.

give it a try for furthering leads..... my thought is that one may have to contact local libraries and historical societies preferable in French written requests in Pau if the scope of Mormon films did not cover the specific requisite. The International genealogical Index , however, for European countries was at the time a very big idea quashed by a lot of churches so the appearance of Mormons copies of registers usually was ambassy chapels of the British COmmonwealth, larger churches of large cities and some dissenter groups [ ie Dutch Reform Church in SA and Netherlands as a very loose example]
The French archives do contain censuses back to about 1790 but one has to contact the Archives to see how in dickens one might access them, and they will not be available on FindMyPast or anc sites as licencing terms probably wouldn't allow them being available.
You seem to have a lot of material already to do the construct you mention here and I think for the area and period you have done well to get back so far.
good luck
