What were his full christian names?  If he is an ancestor you will have that info.   

When & where was he born?

“With his wife”. Does she have a name?

Did he remain in England?  As he arrived in England before the 1911 census was taken have you found an entry?

If he is not an ancestor - what is your interest in him apart from his surname?

There is but 5 or 6 Heal in the Canadian 1901 and 1911 Census.

I think you need to focus on the U.S. after all he was a citizen.  He may have boarded in NY or Boston which then sailed to Halifax, more likely boarded there and then departed for the UK.
