I know the last ship to transport them arrived in Western Australia in 1868, but as for when the last one would have died I can't seem to find out.

I hope somebody can answer this and provide a link.
My great great grandfather came out as a convict in 1838, and passed away in 1904 aged 84. ( he outlived his son who was killed in an accident in 1902 aged 41)
