I'd probably do better with a photo of a branch and the trunk.

I am thinkin Beech
 
It looks like an ash leaf (compound).
What is branch arrangement - Opposite or Alternate ?
A mnemonic to help remember common trees & shrubs with opposite leaves is 'MADCap Horse,' which stands for Maple, Ash, Dogwood, Cap = Caprifoliaceae or honeysuckle family, which are mostly shrubs, and horsechestnut or buckeye.
 
Thank you guys, not ignoring you, was with out my camera on the site so could just take some leaves home, will try to get some pix of the trunk, branches etc Thank you.
 
What you show in the photo is one leaf, made up of seven leaflets. Ash should have another leaf opposite this one. Since it's not there, look for a scar where it may have been torn off. If no scar, then it's not ash.

Branching habit: opposite or alternate.
 
Ash
 
I'm also looking for the opposite branching, and can't see it for sure. Ash is my hunch.

Opposite branching in the eastern U.S. really helps narrow things down. Opposite branching is usually MAD -- maple, ash, or dogwood, none of which looks like the other. (Ornamental trees are of course a different question, if native to other continents.)

Oak, hickory, cherry, locust, beech, and most of the other firewoods don't have branches paired. They alternate as you look up a big branch at the twigs or small branches.
