Once your brother has received his DNA results and is registered with Ancestry it appears the best way to link your family tree with his DNA is to invite him to share your tree.  Instructions on how to do this are at the following link, but when the time comes to do so, it seems necessary that you should assign him the role of editor while following the instructions.  The next step would be for him to link his DNA to the tree then invite you to become a collaborator or manager of his account.

If you bought an Ancestry test kit, it is not a Y-DNA test like you are familiar with, it is an autosomal test which matches you with relatives from both sides of your family, both male and female.  If your great uncle George Goodman had any descendants and if any of them tested on Ancestry then they will show up as 3rd cousin or closer matches regardless of gender.  If no matches show up then nothing has been proved in the search for George but you will find many other matches of interest from both sides of your family.

The company with the largest database of peoples DNA results is having a boxing day only sale tomorrow.  You should consider getting tested there as you will have a much greater chance of linking with one of Georges descendants on that site.

If George began living under an assumed name after leaving St Vincent's School For Boys about 1887, the only hope you have to find any trace of him is to have your DNA tested and look for matches with his descendants, if any.  His grandchildren and you would be second cousins and their children would be second cousins once removed.

Google searching for LostCousins or clicking here https://www.lostcousins.com should take you to a website in England which is a one man operation devoted to reuniting distant cousins.  He is knowledgeable in using DNA matching to break down brick walls.  Search his free newsletters for info on DNA testing.

Thanks for the help GR2
As a followup for those reading these posts I am attaching an image showing the birth record of my GG grandfather James Edward as found on ScotlandsPeople, which shows where I first found a reference to the Burn of Marudy

My GGG grandfather James Edward is shown as age 50 in the 1841 census of Kineff & Catterline, the handwritten address opposite his name could be Burn of Merudie.  He died in 1843, his assumed place of death in the mortcloth rentals is given as Marudy, same as his fathers.

I know that my GGGG grandfather James Edward was married to Jane Paul.  Can I assume that the Jane Paul who died in 1836 is her, i.e., were married women’s deaths recorded under their maiden names?

SctlandsPeople have under old parish registers, deaths and burials, parish of Kineff & Catterline, mortcloth rentals Jane Paul 8 Aug 1836 and James Edward 12 May 1837, both on same page.  Burial in Marudy or maybe what definitely appears as an “u” is actually an “n” to make it Marndy.  Can’t find the reference to Burn of Marudy at short notice.
