Thomas Scowcroft 1846 and his wife Margaret Niblett 1843. I am unable to locate a marriage for this couple.

I have found Thomas in the 1881 Census - Boiler Maker (Out Of Employment) born Bolton, Lancashire

His Wife, Margaret A ... in 1881 was Seamstress from Kendal Westmoreland...Cumbria

When was their first child born - to narrow down search period?

This looks loke the marriage

Nibbley Margaret Ann W. Derby 8b 776
Scowcroft Thomas W Derby 8b 776

So possible Mistranscribed or Different spelling

On the 1901 census his son Thomas is living next door to his parents.

Confirmation from Lancashire bmd that Thomas married Margaret Nibley:

SCOWCROFT Thomas NIBLEY Margaret A Toxteth Park, St. John The Baptist Liverpool

Yes Mark! but it could be said Nibley and spelt Nibblett but we are talking about 1800s and not all could read and write or spell!!!

Great so its beeing put down as Nibbley and not Niblett

Possible for Margaret from 1851 with parents and siblings
