SKEATS/SKATE/SKATES in 1851/61/71

[winksetter]

Could someone have look in 1851, 1861, and/or 1871 census for the name of SKEATS (sometimes spelled SKATE or SKATES). They should be in the Cranborne area although they originate in Ringwood I believe.

This would appear to be the 1881 reference for the person wanted.
