I have no idea what is going on here.

Thomas and Elizabeth were married in 1871 so she was only 16. They had a son Thomas:
1872/C852
Thomas Illidge HEILBROM
Parents Thomas Illidge & Elizabeth FARROW
The son Thomas married Clara POULTON and was a carpenter living in Gympie.No he didn't. This Thomas Illidge HEILBRONN died in 1926 (aged 69) and is buried with Clara (died 1935) in the Lutwyche Cemetery in Brisbane. His death reg:
1926/B50337
Thomas Illidge HEILBRONN
Parents: John & Mary BAILEY (Ancestry names her as Mary Bailey ILLIDGE)
No sign of another Thomas Illidge, so did Thomas LOWRY start life as Thomas Illidge HEILBRONN?
Having a look at Ancestry trees, and Thomas Snr. is recorded as a....drum roll....hairdresser!
