Biographical data
Name: Heaton, William Haslam  
Born: 26 Sep. 1856
Died: 20 Oct. 1941
 
Notes:
Both 'William Heaton' and 'H.W. Heaton' played for Leeds against the Midland Railway Institute in 1884. I am guessing that 'William Heaton' was the 'W.H. Heaton' who played for Oxford in 1882 and for Leeds in 1884 and 1886, but this might have been 'H.W. Heaton'.
