NB: Subtraction is not always an accurate method (to obtain a correct, exact birth date.) There were different counting methods for listing ages, and I have seen far too many marker ages which conflict with known birth dates. Exact day can even depend upon time of day. Calculators gave 2 possible days. I've added month and year but do not normally prefer to use the subtraction method. A firm birth date, when found, often differs. Ages on markers are often incorrect (sometimes wildly so.)
