[Tiedtfeld/Tientfeld], 8 February [baptized]. A daughter of Johann Friedrich Wasmann and Marie Eleonore Hundertmark, aged 33 years. Born 6 February at 5 o'clock in the morning. Godparents: 1) Christoph Ahlstwede(?); 2) Johann Heinrich Christoph Ahlbrecht; 3) Justine Wilhelmine Speier; 4) Marie Louise Ahlbrecht, of [place unclear].
Named: Wilhelmine Louise.
Flag on the place name. This entry opens with a town name I don't recognize as "Halle" — it reads more like Tiedtfeld or Tientfeld, and I'm genuinely unsure of the exact letters. If this is a different parish register than the Halle book you've been working through, this Johann Friedrich Wasmann + Marie Eleonore Hundertmark couple may be a separate branch, not directly the same as Johann (the night watchman) + Marie Catharine Wollenweber — different wife, different apparent location. The surnames Wasmann and Hundertmark both recur from the Halle entries though, which suggests family connection even if this is a different town, possibly where a son or relative relocated.
Also worth noting: Hundertmark shows up again — you had Jacob Hundertmark and Justine Hundertmark as godparents in earlier Halle entries. If Marie Eleonore Hundertmark here is from that same Hundertmark family, that's a second generation of intermarriage between the Wasmann and Hundertmark households, not just godparent-standing.
