If one,s LAT/LONG is known how can the LNB skew position be determed against a 12 hour clock, with a satellite having its footprint over one,s earth position.

Web sites such as Dishpointer will provide the skew rotational information for a precise location.
You can zoom in and select your location on a map and the Az/El/Skew will be given for that location.

Not being into maths how would I read a skew of -19.5 degrees against a 12 hour clock?

Negative values are anti clockwise from 12:00 o'clock when looking skyward to the satellite.
