I would say 1920s, my mother wore a similar type hat for her wedding in 1929. Is there a small child sitting on the floor, behind Thomas?

Agree - late 1920s. Also, it looks as if they might be RC.

Man mid - late 50s? Woman mid 40s? Baby 9 - 12 months?

Might help with the dating if you can trace the child.

If Its a girl she was born 1922 and her sister was born 1930 so looks like your all spot on. ;D

Here’s a little by-the-way comment.
The positioning of the pen and pocket on Thomas’ waistcoat suggests that he was left-handed – and that he was sufficiently well-heeled (and particular) to have his waistcoat tailor-made.

Agree with all the suggested.
Here's a little light AI restoration for you to make it (very) slightly clearer.
