This site states that he returned to England:
'Henry Holroyd..arrived in Tasmania in 1853 aboard the "Oriental Queen" and returned to England on completing his sentence'

The same statement is on this website

That interesting, Judith. Pity they don’t offer any proof of it.

Wonder who the Henry is that is still in Tassie in 1882, then. They don’t mention him.

Be aware that there is a Benjamin Holroyd(e) with sons that included Henry and William (born London early 1850s) who arrived in Hobart in the 1850s

They are the jam manufacturers mentioned in this 1877 court case

I can make out: Brother Wm Holroyd at Mr Henry Ratcliffe’s ... Head row Shepards yard Huddersfield Yorkshire when free this man 31/3/1858.

Brother Wm Holroyd at Mr Henry Ratcliffe’s ... Head row Shepards yard Huddersfield Yorkshire wants to hear from this man 31/3/1858.

Obviously he had not made contact with his family by 1858.

Thanks for all the replies,Dundee regarding wanting to hear about him in 1858 may be because the brother William married later that year.
Witness  at the wedding was Thomas Stocks who was robbed by Henry in 1850.
Thomas Stocks was their half brother from their mothers first marriage.
So as there is no trace whatsoever about Henry in U.K. i presume he stayed in Australia or sailed off to somewhere else.
Thanks for looking
