Biography

The Birth Date is a rough estimate. See the text for details.
Flag of Yorkshire (adopted 2008)
Richard Waterhouse was born in Yorkshire, England.

Richard was born in 1552. [citation needed]

Richard married Sibbell Learoyd on 11 July 1575 at St John the Baptist Church, Halifax, Yorkshire.[1]

Richard passed away in 1597. He was buried on 26 October 1597 at Halifax, St John the Baptist, Halifax, Yorkshire[2] (Note - the source attached is for John Waterhouse of Hipperholme, buried on this date.)

Research Note

I have been unable to find a record of Richard's christening on Family Search, Ancestry or Findmypast. All searched on 29 August 2019.

No evidence found at the moment for Richard as a son of the father attached, Robert Waterhouse of the Moot Hall. He does not appear in the pedigree in Familiae Minorum Gentium or on any of the property deeds for Robert Waterhouse's sons, who are named as John, George, and Gregory.

The daughter attached, Susan Waterhouse, married to John Ramsden of Bowers in Barkisland, is shown in Familiae Minorum Gentium as the daughter of Richard Waterhouse of Meresclough Bottom[3] who died in 1612 and had a will proved at York 24 June 1612 "Watterhowse, Richard, the elder, Meareclough Bothom, par. Hallifax, yeoman".[4] His wife is shown in the pedigree as Isabel, who survived him and died after 1619, and his father (in a footnote) as Richard Waterhouse who died 1559, probate 3 December 1560 Richard Watterhowse senior of Skercote, "probably" buried 3 September 1559.[5][6] These are also possible dates of Richard Waterhouse the brother of Robert Waterhouse of the Moot Hall. His wife was Isabel rather than Sybil so further research needed.
