"Claimaconvict" has only one Job Wilson listed,arriving in Australia in 1812 having been convicted in Essex in 1811.
What documentary evidence do you have that he was born in Cambridgeshire?
Have you viewed his marriage record?
Or his death certificate?
No sign of an obituary.
A tree on Ancestry which is sketchy at best claims he was baptised in Lincolnshire.

FindMyPast has plenty of entries for "Job Wilson, 1811/12". Only one carries a year of birth.
The record identifies arrival year, 1812, age 40, occupation farmer, location North Richmond. The age 40 has been applied to arrival year giving a calculated year of birth 1772. The record was created 1827 or later (another entry on the same page has arrival year as 1827).

That would be the Job that died 1867, age 83, Richmond.

Have we got two Job Wilsons now? One from Cambridgeshire, the other from Lincolnshire, both transported and ending up in Richmond?

The Job Wilson baptised in Caistor Lincs, s/o Job and Susanna was buried in Caistor the following year, so that rules him out

Job Wilson was tried at Chelmsford along with a John Williamson for a burglary at the shop of Ralph Bullock of Colchester. Just a brief mention in newspapers with no age recorded.

Another article states that he and John were "soldiers of the 4th regiment". I wonder whether it would be possible to find a military record for him?

Thank you all for your help but bit confused on the army side of things im in australia how do i look up the 4th regiment around 1800s

The Suffolk Chronicle, 1 Sep 1810, reported the burglary at Colchester.
Newspapers around the end of October 1810 report the 1st Battalion of the 4th Regiment of Foot, "in barracks at Colchester", embarking at Harwich to be shipped to Portugal.
Have checked FindMyPast for for Job's military record but drew a blank.

His convict records state his native place as Cambridgeshire, the 1828 census gives his age as 40.

So he was 40 in 1828 and not 40 in the year he arrived (1812)

At post #4 I spelled out how age had been calculated. It wasn't clear whether it applied to year of arrival. I had looked at others listed on the same page, which did point to year of arrival being the fixed point. For example, I recall children age 3 appearing in the column "Age" - which had been created 1827 or later..
