A descendant of Quentin Leo Doherty ( elio156) has a tree on Ancestry (and a lovely photo of Quentin).

Got that one, I have scoured Ancestry UK for weeks, not a lot is coming up that is new however. And zip on the Columb line, though I have requested access to a couple of trees on here which look promising, nothing yet however!

Both he and his son are fetching chaps:-) !!

Check that the messages on GR have been read by looking at them in your 'Sent' mail box. Unopened ones still have an envelope icon next to them.

Members are more likely to reply if you've explained your relationship and ask them about theirs. 'Please may I see your tree'? tends to get ignored.

OK - good hint, I will do. I am hoping that when they look at my tree they can determine whether there is a match to be made, as I gave access first before emailing, and then requesting - hopefully this meets protocol for those who still check in here.

To be honest, if someone opened their tree to me, then asked to see mine, I'd want to know who we had in common.

Many members have trees going back several generations, include siblings and then 'their' spouse and descendents. We may only be remotely related, but with a genetic link. Hence their inclusion.

Wait and see what happens. If the messages have been read but not replied to within 24 hours of then, send another message but with a more in-depth explanation
