There was a Faculty Office licence for the MARRIAGE, which might provide more details, but does anyone feel that that John West may not have had any surviving children? You would usually mention them, even if only leaving them small tokens.

Here' the burial for the man who made the will. It's not the Hoxton burial you claim for your relative:

According to google, the West Brewery was founded in 1822 which would mean that Job would only have been 20, which seems a bit unlikely, so probably his father who founded it.

The Victorian era was the best ever time for rags to riches. My dirt poor lot rose from nothing to very comfortable middle class lives by virtue of sheer hard work. Right place, right time, right attitude.

Not much to go on really... both otp, bachelor and spinster, banns, he signed, she made her mark. Witnesses Ann West and John Parkins.

Thanks, and we don't know whether it's the right John and Eleanor anyway.

There's still a big gap between the 1787 marriage and the Nov 1795 baptism.

I do wonder about this marriage in Teddington in Feb 1795 between John West and Eleanor Nobes:

Brewing, and even more so malting, were lucrative trades. Several of my ancestors made their fortunes in these trades. So much so they were described as "gentlemen" in later life.
