When I enter someone in my database I usually start out with something like "Died AFT 1871" depending on where the last piece of information that I have on the person.
Later I might find them in the BMD so I make an "Alt. Death" entry for the probably date of their death. I will then use Options - Swap With Death Information to use this date but keep the other one. I often enter the age at death in either "Description" or "Notes". If I enter this in Description (I know if it is not the "correct" place but it is convenient) then when I swap the dates over it is not transferred with the rest of the information.
