Skeates/Collins family

Greenhithe Kent
Desperate for information on the Skeates family of Greenhithe in the early 1900s. To the best of my knowledge they were called Skeates, but I have heard they all changed their name to Collins. I have found a family of Collins in 1901 that looks like it is the same family I knew as Skeates. I am curious as to why and when they changed their names. I have a John b.1845 Trent, Somerset married to Mary A b.1850 Trent. Living with them are their children Sarah b.1881 Gravesend, Frederick b.1883 Greenhithe and Robert b.1887 Dartford. Nearby there is a Samuel b.1868 Southampton married to Eliza b.1865 Greenhithe with children George 1896 and Emily 1898. I believe Samuel could have been John's eldest son. I think I also found John's other daughter Jane under her married name of Jarvis. Can anyone shed any light please?
