Thomas Dibley (1829 - 31 May 1912) was a member of the Queensland Legislative Assembly.[1]
Dibley was born at Mudgee, New South Wales, the son of the Ebenezer Dibley and his wife Mary (née Monckton). He was an apprentice in a Sydney tobacco factory and in 1865 moved to Queensland and leased J.M. Thompson's Cothill Estate in Ipswich. He then became a butcher and timber-getter in Noosa and the Wide-Bay regions and he then moved to Brisbane in 1893 where he worked as a butcher at Woolloongabba.[1]
On 30 September 1867 Dibley married Matilda Marie Gates[1] (died 1913)[2] at Ipswich and together had four sons and four daughters.[1] He died in May 1912[1] and was buried in the Balmoral Cemetery.[3]
Dibley was an alderman on the South Brisbane Municipal Council before winning the seat of Woolloongabba for Labour at the 1896 Queensland colonial election.[4] He held the seat until 1907, when Dibley, by then a member of the Kidstonites, lost his seat to the Opposition Party's George Blocksidge.[5]
