Three years later, he was transported to Fremantle on the "William Hammond", arriving on 29 March 1856. He obtained his Ticket of Leave on 16 June 1858 and a Conditional Pardon on the 7 September 1861. Apart from an assault upon his person in 1871, there is little information about Mr Connor who lived out his life in the south of this state.

The actual death place of Charles Connor is not recorded.  On this particular day, Connor and his mate were fishing in the river.  While standing on slippery rocks, he accidentally slipped into the water.

He is buried somewhere in the Arthur River area.
