If you can figure out the year of birth from a listed age, then write the year outside the comment tag with a ca. before the estimated year (ca. is the abbreviation for circa), but make sure you place a question mark after the year. If you know the exact year, month and day, then remove the comment tags and replace yyyy, mm, dd with known information.
