FreeBMD puts some light on the above:

HAMILTON Jane M WEST Kensington 5c 2830
Watkins Jane M West Kensington 5c 2830
WEST Richard T WATKINS Kensington 5c 2830
WEST Richard T HAMILTON Kensington 5c 2830

Against the last two line there is a question mark icon which leads to a note that “Entry reads WATKINS or HAMILTON for Spouse”.

This sort of thing usually means that the current spouse was previously married, probably to a Watkins in this case.  However no such marriage can be found so it could have been a change of name for a partnership.  Nor could any birth be found of a Watkins with a mother’s name of Hamilton.  The West-Hamilton marriage certificate might simplify the puzzle a tad.
