Hi
Would appreciate census lookups for the Skeen family.
Only info I have is......

MARY JANE SKEEN b. 12.12.1862 Liverpool Lancashire. Her father was named ANDREW

Hope that is enough. By 1884 she had come to South Australia and married a Richard Burns.
Would like to find her parents and siblings if possible.
Thanks
Colleen (Australia)

Don't see her in 1871.

Perhaps this is her family in 1861:
