Hi Annie,
You could be right, although proving a link could be correct. The most usual transcription error has seemed to be Youens.

Hi Annie

Ewers is very likely related to the Youers family, particularly if it is in the Buckinghamshire area. Robert and I have worked out some of the tree so far, but we only go back as far as the early 1800s. There are quite a number of interesting spellings. Do you have any names and dates that we might be able to tie in with what we have?

Hi Ann, Yes I have Quite alot on the Ewers family from Buckinghamshire around the Ashendon/Waddesdon/ type areas, there were alot of little villages within reaching distance of each other, Are you on Genes Reunited? I have a family tree on there, also a fair bit on my computer that is not on there yet. Let me know what kind of names you have and i can see if they tie in with any of mine I have a few lines I just cant find possibly due to changing of name of Ewers to something similar you just never know unless you really look at it i have back to one common ancestor Robert Ewers and Eliza he was born about 1734. You  can always email me personally. Thanks Annie

Hi Robert, Yes your right proving it is something else, but as we all had experience in variant name changes within family groups it is always a good idea to keep an open mind, literacy was never a strong suit through the ages, and unless you had a vicar that was really literate then your name was often spelt how it sounded . Another is names were changed in spellings so i have learned is that some family members with same names wanted distinguished from other members. I grew up as a Ewers and believe me the spellings we got in the through the mail were quite amazingly different from Yours, Uers, Yous, Ewes, Youls, and my ultimate favorite Sewers, all human error, but then again we are all human! Thanks Annie
