Albert Ebenezer (1857 - 1937) and Ebenezer Albert Fox (1857 - 1926), were English poachers and identical twins known as the Twin Foxes. Turning to a life of crime, they often got away by providing each other with alibis. When they were in prison Sir Edward Henry used them, and other twins, to prove that individuals could be identified by fingerprints by showing that their fingerprints were different.
