You say you have tried 'many sights'. There is only one reliable site for looking for this sort of information. See http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=714261.0
Having said that, there is no listing of such a marriage in the index at www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk so there is obviously something odd about this marriage.
Various possibilities spring to mind
- Did they just invent a date and place of marriage for the NZ birth records?
- Did they marry by declaration before witnesses, but not get round to having the marriage registered?
- Did they change their names on emigration, for some reason?
The place of (the alleged) marriage doesn't really help, because there isn't a parish or registration district of Crofthead. As a place name, Crofthead is very common. A quick check on http://www.scotlandsplaces.gov.uk/ tells me that Crofthead crops up in 10 of the Name Books for Lanarkshire alone, and there are many more references in other counties.
SP has 139 marriages of a William to a Margaret in Lanarkshire in 1872. Using the IGI at FamilySearch, none of these marriages were on 23 June, so that method doesn't work.
First of all, have you got either or both of them in the censuses before they emigrated? And did they have a child in Scotland before they emigrated?
