Trying to identify these hedges

Firstly, these noble branch's were trimmed from an fairly large hedge (not a bonsai) and so I apologize if I have posted in the wrong section of the forum. I am trying to identify exactly what the species are as I would love to plant them in my own yard :wink:

Would appreciate any information on them :shock:

Cobalt,

I think #2 is a variegated form of Euonymus.

#3 looks like a Yew. (Taxus)

I am drawing a blank on the first one.

Hi Gnome, I think you are very right about the Euonymus and also the Yew.
I have shown the first photo to several people and no one seems to know what it is. I live in Canada and so whatever it is, it must be hardy enough to live through the winter! :) Thanks again for your help 2/3 is rather amazing if you ask me.
