Phillips/Smith - Uncle 'David' adopted 1950, Sarnia, Ontario

I am looking for my father's eldest brother, born Franklin Allan 'David' on January 18, 1942. His mother was Muriel 'Jean' Annabelle Smith (nee Phillips), his father was known as Wint Smith. It has also been said that 'David's' birth father was in the war and killed, so my grandmother married Wint instead of giving up the baby right away.

Details are sketchy from the family, as my father and the other siblings were very young (ages infant to 6yrs -1 girl and 2 boys). The rest of the family I think were going through enough with death of a family member, that they don't remember much either. My granmothers father passed away January 9, 1950 and it is said that 'David' was adopted out by the end of January.

My father passed away and never had any answers despite his search so I am hoping I can continue to find answers and put the pieces together.

Thanking you in advance for ANY information.
