Looking for a death record
I'm looking for a death record for someone named Anna Elizabeth Thielen. She was married to Johann Bernard Breidenbach and died October 1759-1762. I think she died in Oesdorf, Westphalia, Germany, but I'm not sure.

How are baptism records from the 1700s supposed to be read? I'm having trouble telling the difference between who is getting baptised and who the witnesses are. As an example, is Anna Maria Elizabeth Breidenbach the witness or is Anna Catharina? And who is Anna Maria at the end?
The example I'm talking about is third from the bottom: https://data.matricula-online.eu/en/deutschland/paderborn/DE_EBAP_63113/KB004-04-T/?pg=66
Can someone tell me if this is the baptism record of someone named Joannes Bernardus Breidenbach? His baptism was on July 14 1762, and his parents are Joannes Bernard Breidenbach and Anna/Maria Anna Schmidt. I think it's the third one from the top. I'm dyslexic and struggling to read the handwriting, so any help would be appreciated.

I'm building my family tree and my grandmother gave me our family heritage book, but I'm having trouble figuring out how I connect to distant cousins. From this book, I know who my earliest known ancestor is, but I'm having trouble finding records on where I go from there.
The ancestor in question is Johann Bernard Breidenbach, who was born in Oesdorf, Westphalia, Germany sometime in the 1700s. He died in Oesdorf on January 28, 1803. He married Anna Elizabeth Thielen on February 27, 1757. Her birth and death dates are unknown as well. They had a son named Johann Konrad Breidenbach in October 4, 1759.
Part of the trouble is that one of the distant cousins that I'm trying to connect to on the family tree claims that Johann Bernard Breidenbach was also her ancestor, christened May 9, 1724, but that he was married to Anna Katharina Schmidt on April 23, 1758 and their son Johannes Martin was born or baptized on September 2, 1774. He also died on January 28, 1803. He is also from Oesdorf.
I am aware that it is possible that there could be two Johann Bernard Breidenbachs in Oesdorf, Germany at the same time and that they could be cousins, it doesn't seem likely that both of them would have died on the same day.
An ancestor of mine who was also researching our family history had gotten these dates from the church records from Germany, but was unable to go farther back due to the records being difficult to read. She was also told that everyone with the last name Breidenbach at that time was related, I just don't know how. She suspects that there was only one Johann Bernard Breidenbach, but due to the age and condition of the old parish records, she thinks the second marriage date was copied incorrectly.
I'm looking for birth, death and marriage records for the people mentioned above so I can figure out who is who and how to connect them to my family tree. The church I mentioned is St. Johannes Catholic Church in Oesdorf, Westphalia, Germany.
I'm currently thinkig of writing a fic where Alicent and her kids time travel to a few years before the Ashford Tourney, and I'm looking on opinions on what details would fit best. I'm using a mix of book and show timeline for House of the Dragon, so the ages will be a little different. They disappear soon after the Driftmark incident (120 AC) and appear in 203 AC. Alicent is a good parent in this.
Ages for the time travelers: Alicent (22), Aegon (8), Visenya, an oc, (8), Helaena (7), Aemond (7), Daeron (6).
Any opinions and advice will be appreciated. I'm not sure if I'm going to end up writing this fic, but I'm looking for ideas and inspiration.
