Can you include a timescale - 18th/19th/20th century?
Also - some christian names

Hi
As you mention grandparent, I guess we are talking 20th century.
There is this death
Ronald P Cambell
age 51
Dec quarter 1948
Grantham 3b 91
But we really need more details.

There is no marriage between a William Skillington and a Maud Campbell
Do you have a copy of your fathers birth certificate as there are a couple of Skillington births in Yorkshire - one in Sheffield with mothers maiden name Neave and the other in Dewsbury maiden name Skillington
-
I am assuming your father was Harry Campbell Skillington b 29.12.1924 died Stockport 1998
Births
Harry C Skillington mother's maiden name = Neave March qtr 1925 Sheffield
Volume 9c Page 1019
-
Harry Skillington married Maud Neave March qtr 1918 Lincoln 7A 941
-
Maud Skillington born 25.7.1897 died in Sheffield in 1978
Maud Neave was born September qtr 1897 Horncastle 7A 552
She was only 21 when she married Skillington so rather young to have been previously married

Just about to post that birth, Carole.
Are you sure this is not just a family rumour Kalasira that has been passed down? I believe that your father's birth certificate would give his mother's previous married name (if she was married) as well as her maiden name.
Having seen your last post Carole, I wonder if it was her father who killed himself? Kalasira, if you obtain this certificate it will give you his cause of death.
-
I also think it was Campbell Skillington who shot himself
Maud was not previously married to a "Campbell" - he was her father
A copy of Campbell Skillington's death cert will give the cause of death and a copy of the 1918 marriage cert will confirm Maud was a spinster when she married Harry (not William) Skillington

Kalasira
You have been given all this information in a previous post in 2008 so why are you asking for the same information again??
Duplicating requests causes a great deal of wasted time and efforts - which is what has happened here
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,338355.0.html
Here is just one of my replies on that post
This is your dad's birth registration
Harry C Skillington March quarter 1925 Sheffield Volume 9C Page 1019 his mothers maiden name was NEAVE. If he was born on Boxing Day - his birth would only have been registered after the New Year which is why it is shown in the March qtr 1925
This is his parents marriage registration
Marriages March qtr 1918
Harry Skillington to Maud Neave Lincoln Volume 7a Page 941
As Maud was only around 21 when she married Skillington - I doubt she was married beforehand. If she had been - she would have re-married as Campbell - not Neave
This is the only Maud Neave birth in Lincolnshire
Maud Neave September qtr 1897 Horncastle Volume 7a Page: 552
