"The Official convict records of Australia" 

What are these particular records?.  I can source several sites for convicts Tasmania....New South Wales....musters etc.

What is the source titled "Official Convict records"  I do not see it identified at the earlier discussions.

"one has the heading Official Convict Records of Australia."

When I Google  "Official Convict Records of Australia."  I find nothing.

Where does anyone find it?

There are hundreds of trees for Jeremiah on Ancestry and many have attached various records relating to his transportation. None of those I can see give a date of birth, only an age. (I only have a UK subscription so cannot see some.) There are also references to a non-Ancestry site - that they call "Australia, Convict Records Index" - which has this entry https://convictrecords.com.au/convicts/howell/jeremiah/69469 which includes a date of birth.

However, although that database is based on original records, they allow the public to add and modify. The dates of birth and death and alias have been added by contributor D Wong. It is likely the original also only had his age.
