Notes

Wasmann appears only as a godmother (Sophie Waßmann).
The grandfather’s occupation after ‘des hiesigen’ is not legible at this resolution; the mark after it may be ‘sel.’ (deceased).
Recapture: the inventory already holds a file of this name (Bild 122, godparent-only). Compare before merging.
