As I explained previous as I understand it, H’west St Martin surviving baptism's only start in 1795 so quite clearly there is no baptism entry for a Sarah Elliot, and I can confirm that there is no mrge entry for a James Elliott at H’west St Martins 1729 to 1800, this also goes for H’west St Mary and H’west St Thomas mrge’s.
The entry you refer to in the IGI is quite clearly a figment of someone’s imagination and/or hypothesis, which has no basis in document research.
Have you looked at the various El(l)iot(t)(e) wills on the NloW website?
The nearest I can currently offer is a search of the LTA’s circa 1781 to circa 1833 to see if a James Elliot(various spellings) is occupying a property in H’west St Martin around the time of your interest.
Genuki gives P.R.’s for St Martins covering far greater dates and time frame to the catalogue I viewed on a previous visit to the Record Office. It also states a copy of P.R. extracts also exists at the Record Office, again something I have not previous come across.I will add to my next to do list, which due a full diary will not be until week beginning 7th June at best, to double check P.R.’s dates for St Martin’s, and advise you accordingly.
Needless to say since I have found no Elliot entries at St Martin’s pre 1832 except for the mrge of John Elliot the widow Farmer to Ann Thomas widow in 1830, the chances of finding anything do not look good ~ however we live in hope.
