I looked online at some Dutch genealogy sites but they were mainly for the Netherlands and not any colonies

Thanks for the replies, as the rest of the family were mainly involved in the sugar industry it would make sense that this happened in Surinam as well,

Thanks for your help will definitely contact the Herne Bay group.

I have the certificate from the shorthand competition which doesn’t give any added info

I have my fathers birth certificate and his deed poll certificate for legal change of name.
 I have found him in 1921 census and 1939 register, will have to live with the gaps in his childhood and war time

Thanks again much appreciated

Percy C Shawcross  ( future step father) was with his sister for 1911 census
