Comments featuring below his physical description  --- Fingal?

Period of Probation  Two years
Station of Gang  Fingal   13/10/44  Perth 26/11/44 PB (prisoner barracks) Launceston
Class 2nd  PPH  3rd  (Probation Passholder)

You can read about the probation system here:

He was not pardoned, he served his seven years and so was free in 1849.  The assignments in the remarks column only go to 1846 as when he had his TOL in 1847 he could work for himself.  The last one looks to me like B. Galvin, Launceston,which is likely to be Batholomew (Bart) GALVIN.

All the locations are in the north of the island, Port Sorell is under 'Remarks' a couple of times. Morven is now Evandale. There's another place named a few times under 'Remarks' that I haven't yet worked out (PB Launceston?)edit - probably Prisoner's Barracks Launceston

Hi matthewj64,
I do appreciate your assistance with this deciphering.   Some records are so hard to interpret.
As I cannot find a death record for him in Tasmania, I am trying to find evidence of him leaving the state to find a new life in another colony.  Searching sites such as Ancestry, Tasmanian Archives and OzMariners(NSW) for coastal passengers after 1849.
Thanks again
Regards
