This one maybe :- Albert James HEALY b abt 1862 Soberton, Hampshire d. Chester 22 Oct 1951 (from wills index) married to Jane BUT the 1911 census shows him as a civil assistant in the Ordnance Survey which seems a bit unlikely for an ex-prisoner. There are about 7 plain Albert HEALYs in the 1891 census in England. There is an Albert HEALEY b abt 1882 in Harrogate shown in the Wakefield prison register, committed in 1900 in York for theft. He was a tailor who had previously been in Newcastle prison with a note which seems to read "5 years a del reformatory school".

They were at liberty for about 13 hours after escaping on Friday from a working party and scaling the prison wall. The lorry crashed into the Devon side of a bridge over the river Tamar after a police car had given chase." -- Anne Chambers South Australia anne dot chambers at bigpond dot com
