I'm looking for any info about James (Jimmy) Morgan.  He married Edith Boyle in Barrhead Renfrewshire around 1940.  he was a football goalie and played for Arthurlie football club, barrhead.

He was in the RAF and was lost in action  in WW2 in a practice flight off the south of England - I think he was a rear gunner.  His remains were never found and Edith, my aunt hoped and waited for him to back.  It destroyed her life and as a child I couldn't understand why she was such a bitter, depressed person.
Help please!
