Charles Henry Coop/Coope - convict Tasmania

[auntie bertie]

Hi - trying to find out what happened to Charles Henry Coop/Coope - he was deported in 1850 for 7 yrs for larceny arriving in Aug 1850 on the "Maria Somes".  He obviously hadn't learnt his lesson as he is in and out of prison several times between 1863 and 1872! 
After that I can find no records.
Any assistance appreciated!
Thanks

He was sent to Van Diemen's Land (Tasmania).

This link is to the research project Founders and Survivors which attempted to find what happened to convicts after sentence. Researchers were experienced genealogists.
As you can see at the end of Charles Henry COOPE details born 1808, exit after sentence unknown.
Not certain Henry COOP d 1884 is the same man.

Yes,  agree, the farmer, Henry COOP is not confirmed as the convict Charles Henry COOP.     It may be worthwhile for the OP to investigate him further, the surname is unusual.

Thanks but this is just Henry - not Charles Henry and my man definitely wasn't a farmer - so I don't think this is the right person.  Thanks for suggestion though.
