deleted wrong topic

As he calls his son Maurice, we can assume that his third given name was Moritz.

Hi

In Switzerland registry offices only started in 1875, for earlier years you have to look in the churchbooks. In most Cantons of Switzerland the churchbooks are hold by the State Archives. Some State Archives have put their churchbooks online, others you will find on familysearch and Fribourg has any census of the 19th century online also on familysearch. Some Cantons have Familienregister, Stammbücher or Bürgerbücher which were started sometimes in the 19th century. In some Cantons they are hold by the registry office or a separate office, in other Cantons they are hold by the State Archives.

Hi

Someone had already opened a thread in the Swiss Forum Geneal-Forum in the year 2012.

Well spotted Svenja.
We seem to be going round in circles on this one, so I will leave it to others....though IMHO it appears a fruitless task, as the OP realised in the beginning!

Hi

Quote
Next puzzle, his wife, their is no marriage that can be found, and wonder if it could of been in France

As it was mentionned earlier in this thread maybe Mathis wasn't the father of the first child. So it's possible that they met and married in Paris, where the second child was born. Did someone search for their marriage in Paris?

I'm trying to find some information about stonemasons from Switzerland in France or elsewhere. I searched on gallica (National Library of France with newspapers of Paris)
https://gallica.bnf.fr/accueil/?mode=desktop

and on e-periodica (with periodicals about local history and genealogy in Switzerland) but found nothing about the time in question.
