As you said he was in an orphanage there isthis possible in 1901 but the birth year is out a little. |

There is a Bromley in East London - as well as one in Kent. |

I think this may be her on 1901 and witnesses her brother George and sister Eliza (Lizzie?) |

Going by his age (assuming he wasn't telling porkies and was 21) and the date of the marriage - he could have been born anytime between 16 April 1889 and 14 April 1891. |

It needs more work to prove it but I believe this is 'your' Thomas on 1891 |
