I'm still making a world, and orcs and goblinoids play a huge part of the world, and the php and MM don't have anything on orc, goblin and hobgoblin ages, do you have to make them up yourself of is there a book I dot have?

I'd say make it up, or give them halfling, or maybe Dwarf ages.

I know but the problem is that orcs supposedly have a shorter lifespan, that is just from looking at the half orc, but you're right

when in doubt

HOMEBREW IT!

Yeah, I'd base orc as younger than half-orc, and very similiar ages for all others.

I say give the orcs livespans notably shorter than half-orcs for continuity. Make the goblins even more short lived to balance out their rapid reproduction and explain why they're so low tech for such a cunning race. The hobgoblins should be slightly more long-lived than humans, allowing for their disciplined lifestyle and militaristically similiar nature. Bugbears should be near ageless, like elves, their population kept in check only by their violent lifestyle.

I think there's info for that in one of the Eberron books, but I'm not completely sure. I'll go check when my DM is done using my books.
