There is a submitted entry in the IGI for the birth of William Waterhouse in about 1744 in Pudsey, parents Joseph Waterhouse and Susanna Keighley. Another submitted entry has the same information except the year is 1745. Another gives the year as 1749 and only gives his father's name.
There is also an entry in the Pedigree Resource File for William Waterhouse born in about 1749 in Pudsey, Yorkshire, parents Joseph Waterhouse and Susanna Keighley, and his marriage to Sarah Swithinbank of Yorkshire on 28 August 1769.
I cannot find an entry in the Calverley Parish Records (which has the statement "The original Baptism register for the period 1748 to 1755 is very confusing. Entries are very hard to interpret, some entries are duplicated in different years, the dating is unclear and the condition of the register also makes the period difficult to decipher. Other versions that appear on the IGI site and elsewhere, bear little resemblance to these records.") The christening would come under the Calverley Records as it is prior to 1755.
There is a submitted entry in the IGI for the marriage of William Waterhouse born about 1745 in Pudsey and Sarah Swithinbank on 28 August 1769. Another submitted entry gives the same information but adds the marriage is in Calverley. Another gives the marriage in about 1784.
There is an entry in the Calverley Parish Records for William Waterhouse, a mason of Calverley and Sarah Swithinbank of Calverley on 28 August 1769 at St Wilfreds witnessed by John Ryley & George Gamble.

For Rachel and William the records give not only the parents names William watrerhouse and Sarah alias Sally Swithenbank and his employment as mmason, and the grandparents names as Joseph Waterhouse and Stephen Swithenbank. For Judith only her father's and grandfather's names are given (William and Joesph Waterhouse). The same is given for Anne plus William's employment as a mason and her mother's name as Sarah. For Joseph his parents names are given as William, a mason, and Sarah Waterhouse. but his grandfather is given as Joshua Waterhouse. There is no entry for the christening of Nelly or Phoebe, but there is for their burials as an infant daughters of William.
