Transportation to Van Diemans Land in 1831
My 4xG uncle, Levi Millard, was sentenced to 7 years transportation to Tasmania in January 1831 for his part in the Swing Riots. I have found records of his transportation voyage aboard the 'Eliza' in February 1831.
I have also found, on Ancestry, various Convict Muster records and a record of his pardon and ticket of leave in 1840. Would there be any record of when he returned, if indeed he did? If so, where could I find it please? Levi Millard, born 24 July 1803 in Gussage St Michael, Dorset. Parents Henry & Mary (nee Mullins) Millard. He was baptised at Gussage St Michael on 7 Aug 1803.

Yes Oct 1842 I think it said. I'd doubt that he returned to the Uk but he could have changed his name.

A lot of those who obtained their ticket of freedom left Tasmania and went to the newly established settlement of Melbourne, or Port Philip. Polite Society of Van Dieman's Land was not welcoming of ex-convicts, so they left if they could.
