Error: please try again. Elle's fate is unknown, and the unsub continues dropping clues as the team scrambles to identify him before another tragedy occurs. The seemingly random killings in a Houston ward bring the BAU down for the profile, but finding the pattern proves difficult.

'The Ward' is the second installment in the 9 Clues series, in which a young detective and her partner respond to a distress call from a psychiatric hospital on a secluded island. The island is isolated by freezing waters and constant, brutal storms.
Experienced genealogical researchers use clues found in one record to find other records about the same individual. This page describes some of the clues found in census records.
Date of birth
- The 1900 census (column 7) indicates the person's month and year of birth; the 1850-1880 and 1910-1940 censuses indicate the person's age.
- The 1870 census (column 13) and 1880 census (column 7) indicate the month in which the person was born, if born 'within the year,' that is between June 1, 1869 and May 31, 1870 for the 1870 census, or June 1, 1879 and May 31, 1880, for the 1880 census. The official census day was June 1 in both 1870 and 1880, although the enumerator may have visited the household at a later date.
- While the person's age is not an exact date of birth, it at least provides a 'ballpark' figure useful (1) for tracking the person from one census to the next, especially if other people have the same name, and (2) for locating the person in any existing vital records.
Place of birth
- The 1850-1940 censuses indicate the person's state or country of birth, which helps narrow the geographic scope of search for the specific town of birth.
Date of marriage
- The 1850 census (column 10), 1860 census (column 11), 1870 census (column 14), and 1880 census (column 12) indicate whether the person had married within the year.

The official census day was June 1 in each of these census years, although the enumerator may have visited the household at a later date.
