Just found when trying out a few searches on Mocavo (to see what it is!) a mention of "a sugar refining house, warehouse and loft, occupied by Anthony Wood and Godfrey Yonittern, sugar bakers" in a deed of September 1669, listed under "Ancient Bristol Documents".
This must be Godfrey Yonittern: Van Itterne, Godfrey, sugar baker, city of Bristol, 1686, Canterbury wills proved in the PCC.
So, looking at the PCC wills on ancestry, he is Godfrey Von Itterne (Ancestry indexed as Von Jtterne), will proved 14 Sep 1686 (written 14 Jun 1686).
His will mentions his wife Abigail, son Samuel, son Godfrey, daughters Susanna, Sarah, Abigail, and Deborah, daughter Andrews, son-in-law George Andrews, son-in-law Joseph Hooke, and... "my cozen Anthony Woods widow"!
Joseph Hooke could be the husband of Joan's "cozen Mrs Anne Hooke" (or maybe not - FamilySearch has a Joseph Hooke marrying a Mary 16 Oct 1684 at St James Bristol, no surname given for Mary), and daughter Andrews could be Joan's "cozen Andres" (FamilySearch has Georg Andrews marrying Elizabeth Vanatteren in 1682 at St James Bristol). The Von Itterne girls who were unmarried in 1686 may turn out to be some more of the people mentioned in Joan's will.
There are baptisms on FamilySearch for Gotfrey Venathren in 1678 and Deborah Venattern or Venatterne in 1684, both at Bristol, who are probably two of the children mentioned. Also a marriage between Godrey Varsterne and Abigail Brianie 23 May 1676 at Siston, Gloucestershire, not far from Bristol. If this is the right couple, then the married daughters must have been from a previous spouse. Of course wills were so vague that they could be Abigail's daughters rather than Godfrey's. And it's not clear who was his relative (or relative of one of his wives!) - Anthony Wood or Joan. But another clue anyway.
Edit - found baptisms for the other children, earliest being Elizabeth 12 Dec 1665, all at Bristol, all are Godfrey's children, and includes a Mary 1666 so I bet she is the Mary who married Joseph Hooke. Not found Godfrey's first marriage yet.
