James Lennon McGookin (born: 1920)

This man is a distant relative of mine. He was born in Carrickfergus, County Antrim, and I think he may have served in the Royal Air Force. Does anyone know if he married and had a family, as I'd like to possibly contact his descendants.

James Lennon McGookin
born 07/03/1920
died Peterborough 1983
lived in Bretton area of Peterborough from about 1975
I haven't found a marriage but that doesn't mean he didn't get married, he might have married in Ireland
The only way, in my opinion, to find put more is to purchase his death certificate
