Oliver Skilbeck

Oliver Skilbeck was the husband of Elizabeth Skilbeck and the father of Matt Skilbeck. Born in about 1920, Oliver was the son of Clive Skilbeck and his wife. Oliver courted Elizabeth Barlow in 1940 and they married sometime after that date, then had their son Matt in 1948. Oliver died in 1954, leaving Elizabeth to raise their son.
In 1974, Matt mentioned that he wanted to give his baby son Sam Skilbeck the middle name of Oliver after his later father Oliver Skilbeck. But Matt realised that Sam's initials would be SOS, so he chose William as Sam's middle name instead.
