Hi Dawn,

There is a BERNARD SHORROCK on the 1901 census index aged 19, born Blackburn Lancs,  census area Devon,   occupation 'Navy Men'.    This could be worth a try.

Happy hunting   ....   Peter

RMLI = Royal Marine Light Infantry so he was in the Royal Marines!

Best wishes

This looks another good bet!!.
