Family legend has it that his oldest son made milliopns and went to France

Looks like his eldest son emigrated to Wales!
The marriage for the son you looked at before seems to be right (1920 to Mary H Finchette). Anyway, no doubt you have all this already!

Thomas sr is mentioned here:
Rugby Advertiser 31 March 1917
Some chap failed to purchase the correct railway ticket (they said it was systematic fraud because he had done it before) and was summoned before the court. Thomas is mentioned in his capacity as a police officer - having followed the defendant on the train from Rugby to Birmingham.
Now I'm searching Detective Inspector Goode without his first name, there are mentions in these papers (1917onward - there are more before):
06 October 1917 - Chester Chronicle - Chester, Cheshire
07 July 1917 - Tamworth Herald - Tamworth, Staffordshire
16 January 1920 - Rugby Advertiser - Rugby, Warwickshire
I'm fairly sure all those are him as they all involve the railway and minor fraud.
There's also this one which is probably him:
05 August 1922 - Birmingham Daily Gazette - Birmingham, Warwickshire
Two men were charged with theft from a jewellers at Sydenham Road (Birmingham?) and attempted murder of a police officer. There is a mention of "Divisional Detective Inspector Goode" who was present when the charges were read to the men.
