I'm looking for information on the couple:
Joannis HEIDERSCHEID and Susanna GENGELER

I know their daughter, Anna Margaretha Heiderscheid, was born in Heiderscheid, Luxemburg 26 February 1780 and then married in Nusbaum, Germany in 1805 to Johann Moos.

Joannis Heiderscheid and Susanna Gengeler would have been born around the 1750s and married in the 1770s.

The church books are online at Familysearch and it's quite easy to trace this family.

In 1790 we have the marriage of a daughter:

Anna Margareta Heyderscheid minorennis filia legitima Joannis Heyerscheid defuncti et Susannae Gengler vidua conjugum agricolarum ex Heyderscheid

∞ Heiderscheid 08.02.1790

From this we learn that Johannes Heiderscheid was already dead in 1790.

Joannes Heyderscheid ex Heyderscheid vir 46 annorum

† Heiderscheid 04.10.1788

Johannes H. and Susanna Gengler have a whole bunch of children between 1760 and 1780:

• Margareta ⁎ Heiderscheid 26., 〰 27.02.1780, filia legitima Joannis Heyderscheidt et Susannae Gengler agriculterram exercentium conjugum ex Heyderscheid
• Anna Christina, 〰 Heiderscheid 08.02.1776, filia legitima Joannis Heyderscheid et Susannae Gengler conjugum ex Heyderscheid
• Susanna, ⁎ Heiderscheid 21.06.1773, filia legitima Joannis Heiderscheit et Susannae Gengler conjugum ex Heiderscheit
• Franciscus, 〰 Heiderscheid 05.01.1772, filius legitimus Joannis Heyderscheit et Susannae conjugum in Heyderscheit
• Elisabetha, 〰 Heiderscheid 20.11.1768, filia legitima Joannis Heiderscheit et Susannae Genglers conjugum in Heiderscheit
• Margreth, 〰 Heiderscheid 30.11.1766, Meisch Joannes von hier und seiner frau Susan ein kint getauft nahments margreth
• Michel, 〰 Heiderscheid 08.07.1764, Meisch Joannes und siner frau Susan von hier ein kint getauft nahments Michel
• Hans Peter, 〰 Heiderscheid 19.08.1760, Meisch Joannes und seiner frau Susan ehleuth von hier ein kind getaufft nahments Hans Peter

As you can see, it appears that Johannes Heiderscheid is also called at times Johannes Meisch.

We can now look for the marriage. Since we know that Johannes was born in 1742 or thereabouts, it must be around 1758–1759:

Franciscus Henderscheit viduus [...] item eius filius Jo[ann]es Henderscheit cum Susanna Gingler, filia legitima memoraborum coniugum ex Obermerzig

∞ Heiderscheid 19.02.1758

Johannes' father Franciscus is a widower and he remaries on the same day as his son. it I'm not mistaken, both wives are daughters of Johannes Peter Gingler and Susanna N. from Obermerzig.

Looking after 1790, we find the death of Franciscus:

† Heiderscheid 09.01.1793, hora 8va vespertina in Domine obiit Franciscus Heyderscheid vir 76 circiter annorum ex Heyderscheid

Accordingly, Franciscus was born around 1717. We can find the baptism of a Franciscus Meisch in 1718:

Franciscus Meisch, 〰 Heiderscheid 13.11.1718, Meysch Nicolaus et uxor ejus Catharina ex Henderscheyd ein kind getauft mit nahmen Franciscus

We can find a few more dates by checking the death entries:

Mathias Meisch, † Heiderscheid 28.08.1749, mortuus est honestus adolescens Meisch Mathias filius Nicolai et Catharinae Meisch coniugum ex Henderscheit

Nicolaus Meisch, † Heiderscheid 04.06.1755, mortuus est Meisch Nicolaus maritus relictae viduae Catharinae Meisch ex Henderscheit

Catharina N., † Heiderscheid 22.01.1758, mortua est Meisch Catharina uxor relicti vidui Francisci Meisch ex L...

Anna Margareta [Meisch], † Heiderscheid 27.02.1752, mortua filia Anna Margareta filia legitima Francisci et Catharinae coniugum ex Henderscheit

Catharina N. is probably Johannes Heiderscheid's mother.

We find a baptism in 1741:

Johannes Meisch, 〰 Heiderscheid 28.01.1741, baptizatus filius legitimus Jo[ann]es, Francisci et Catharinae Meisch coniugum ex Henderscheit

Anna Margaretha Meisch, 〰 Heiderscheid 19.09.1744, filia legitima Francisci Meisch et Catharinae coniugum ex Henderscheit
