Brick Wall in Wisbu

I have been researching my family in Pommern but I have reached a dead end. One of the branches was located in Wisbu, the Wendt family. The earliest ancestors that are known were Gottlieb Wendt, a cottager (resident) and his wife Dorthee Sophie Ninoch. Not much is known on them, only their names and the father's occupation. Their information was found in their daughter's baptism in 1825, her name was Sophie Christine Wilhelmine Wendt and is the only known child. Here's her baptism record:
Additional Information:
- Gottlieb was also mentioned in his daughter's marriage record in 1842, she married Ernst Friedrich Bentz/Benz of Stölitz when she was 17.
- They had multiple children until Ernst's death in 1859.
- Sophie apparently died around the year 1882 when her daughter Wilhelmine Karoline Albertine Bentz, my ancestor, immigrated to America with her husband Karl Heinrich Ferdinand Janke.
Researching on Gottlieb and Dorthee is extremely difficult, and I have not been able to find much on the family, is there anything I can do to find more on the Wendt family?
