Hi I am looking for information on the Yewen family from Uley Gloucestershire England. I start with Eleanor Smith Yewen 3 Mar 1773 daughter of Daniel Yewen and Elizabeth Smith they were married 4 Dec 1643 Uley. Daniel Yewen was born in 1709 in Uley his parents were Nathaniel Yewen. I have no history as to Daniel Yewen or the Yewen family. Daniel Yewen and Elizabeth Smith had eight children: Sarah, Grace,Sophia, Eleanor Smith, Elizabeth (Betty), William, Virtue, and Mary
Sarah married Abel Thomas Hancock
Eleanor Smith married Dennis Hollister
Elizabeth married James Dauncey
William show one child.
Virtue show one child
I cannot find anything about a Nathaniel Yewen and would like to find out what their professions were.
Regards

The dates in your post that have us confused are:
I have looked to see what early Yewen records in Gloucestershire are around.
Ancestry have the following databases included in “UK, Extracted Probate Records”:
• Gloucestershire: - Calendar of Wills, Court of Bishop of Gloucester, 1541-1650
• Gloucestershire: - Wills Proved in the Court of Bishop of Gloucester, 1660-1800
From these I have found:
Text: Yewen, Elizabeth, Uley 168
Book: Burialls 1604. (Burial)
Collection: Gloucestershire: - Wills Proved in The Court of Bishop of Gloucester, 1660-1800
Text: Yewen, William, Uley 154
Book: Burialls 1604. (Burial)
Collection: Gloucestershire: - Wills Proved in The Court of Bishop of Gloucester, 1660-1800
They also have a data set called the “Millennium File”, which was compiled by the Institute of Family Research to track the records of its clients, and this has:
Name: Elizabeth Smith (Christening: 3 Mar 1723, Uley, Gloucs, Eng)
Spouse: Daniel Yewen (Marriage: 4 Dec 1743, Uley, Gloucs, Eng)
Parents: Aaron Smith, Ester
Children: Eleanor Smith Yewen (Christening: 31 Mar 1759, Uley, Gloucs, Eng; died 9 Apr 1794, Wickwar, Gloucs, Eng). Spouse: Dennis Hollister**; children: Elizabeth Hollister, (birth: 29 Apr 1792, Wickwar, Gloucs)*** .
**Husband's Father:Thomas Hollister Husband's Mother: Sarah Dier [further history on these two is also available in this data set].
*** information about her husband and child is available in this data set.
Ancestry also has a lot of family trees which might give you pointers.

Sorry, I meant to add that I don't know where you would be able to get hold of the 2 wills listed above, but there is a useful help note in the National Archives:

There is an index which includes GLS wills (with ordering information) here -

On the Glos Archvies index (link given in the last post) there are several Yewen wills which might shed some light on the family in the 18th century.

Daniel's baptism record gives his mother's name as Mary, which I think you omitted by mistake from yout opening post.
From Ancestry site: Looks as though Nathaniel may also have married twice. Possible half-siblings for Daniel:
name: Katharine Yewen
baptism/christening date: 19 Feb 1711
baptism/christening place: ULEY,GLOUCESTER,ENGLAND
father's name: Nathaniel Yewen
mother's name: Rebecca
indexing project (batch) number: C03267-2
name: Matthew Yewen
baptism/christening date: 05 Sep 1714
baptism/christening place: ULEY,GLOUCESTER,ENGLAND
father's name: Nath Yewen
mother's name: Rebecca
indexing project (batch) number: C03267-2
You can use the batch number to search for all the Yewen baptisms in Uley, to build up a picture (cousins etc) which you will then hopefully confirm through the wills mentioned earlier.
Good luck!
