Heatley was born William Kennedy, the son of the then unmarried Catherine Kennedy (1867–1899);[2] and, when she married William Peter Heatley (1862–1936),[3][4] in 1890, he took his step-father's surname of Heatley.
He married Eva Russell (1892-1967) in 1912.
FootballEdit
Collingwood (VFL)Edit
On 1 May 1908, he was granted a clearance from the Commonwealth Football Club, in Zeehan, Western Tasmania, to Collingwood.[5] He played 50 games for Collingwood over four seasons.[6]
Although he played in 16 matches, including the last three home-and-away matches, during the 1910 season, he did not play in any of the season's three Final matches.
Brighton (VFA)Edit
Having played his final two senior matches for Collingwood (on 6 and 20 May 1912), he transferred to Brighton in the Victorian Football Association in late June 1912,[7] but only played five games for them before his senior football career ended.
