Hi Rose Lady, its difficult to tell from your photos but even if you do have ash die-back, all is not lost. Two years ago my young ash had it quite badly,in fact one side of the tree had almost completely died.
However since then it has rallied and this year is showing zero sign of the disease. Look for any blackening of the leaves, it gives the appearance of being burnt almost, as if someone lit a bonfire next to the tree. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.
PS - I reported my case to the forestry commission.
