The record

Landeskirchliches Archiv der Evang.-luth. Landeskirche Hannovers, Kirchenkreis Bodenwerder, Linse, Kirchenbuch 1815-1853, Bild 19 (archion.de).

Only entries involving the Wesemann/Wasmann surname are included below. Uncertain readings are marked (?); the clerk here spells the surname "Waßemann."

German

10\. Vater: Waßemann, Ludewig, Maschinenmüllermeister. Mutter: Caroline Traut(?), alt zwei und zwanzig(?) Jahr. Geburt: den vierten October, morgens fünf Uhr. Taufe: den fünften October. Kind: Wilhelmine. Taufzeugen: des Halbmeyers Christian Ernst Ehefrau, Caroline geb. Vorladen(?), Großmutter der Mutter.

English

10\. Father: Waßemann [Wesemann], Ludewig, master machine-miller (Maschinenmüllermeister). Mother: Caroline Traut(?), aged twenty-two(?). Born: the fourth of October, five o'clock in the morning. Baptized: the fifth of October. Child: Wilhelmine. Godparent: the wife of the half-farmer (Halbmeyer) Christian Ernst — Caroline, née Vorladen(?), grandmother on the mother's side.

Correction on re-check: the mother's name reads more like "Traut" than "Traube," her age looks like "twenty-two" rather than "twenty-one," and the godparent entry is one person, not two — the wife of the half-farmer (Halbmeyer) Christian Ernst, whose maiden name reads as "Vorladen" rather than "Gerlach." All of these remain marked (?) given the handwriting.
