I don't know which year this is, but the 1851 census has a James Deacon, harness maker, living in Pangbourne, together with three William Wests: a miller (b1777), a butler (b1817) and a schoolboy.
I'm not sure I can connect 'farrier' with any of those (too bad it wasn't in French, as 'fariner' means 'to flour'!).

You may be on the right track here, as there is a type of flour called "farina" which seems to be either a semolina-type flour from non-durum wheat, or a flour from damaged potatoes. Could the miller of these flours have been a fariner?
