I haven't checked this out at all.

Ancestry suggest Susan Heale, 46, and family in St Giles Cripplegate in 1861

Can't find them on FS in 1861
Here they are in Cripplegate in 1871

Re Hales in Brighton in 1838

My 2 x great-great grandmother, Mary was, according to her birth certificate, born on 5 May 1838 at 12, Riding School Lane, Brighton, Sussex. Father Joseph Hale, Shoemaker; Mother Susan Hale formerly Williams.

Well we have a very interesting triple baptism in Brighton, 29 July 1838, not long after Mary was born.

The register does say Williams, rather than William, for father's name.

Interesting answer to a query about Boss's Gardens here
https://www.mybrightonandhove.org.uk/topic/boss39s-gardens

It was right by the Riding School (owned by George Boss) and the aforementioned Riding Horse Lane, where Mary was born.

Images of the 1841 census for Brighton on FamilySearch
Piece 1121 Book 1 Folio 32
Riding School Lane (spelt Rideing here)
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QHV-13GL-NY12

There are three occupied houses on the page (22) starting with Thomas Wight, 45, and family
Seem to be six houses marked up as unoccupied.

On the next page (23), there is just one more house in RSL.
Then straight on to Boss Gardens (should be Boss's)
Here on the the next image on FS
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QHV-B3GL-NTDH

That's 10 houses in Riding Horse Lane. Not twelve plus!
The man himself, George Boss, is a few images on (second bottom of page 33) in Edward Street
George Boss, 62, Riding Master

So we now have much more information about Susan / Sarah from the census
1861
8 Brackley Street, St Giles Cripplegate
Susan Heale Head Widow 46 Shoe Closer, born St Clements
William Heale Son 12 Errand Boy
Tomas (sic) Heale Son 9
Henry Heale Son 3
Edward Heale Son 1
The boys all born London Cripplegate

The other main pay website has mucked them up completely, which means they appear as McDonalds on FamilySearch! Tomas misread as James, and they transcribed Henry as Francis!
