Hi
There is a Wincot (also known as Willicote) - just south of Stratford near Preston on Stour.

Hi Genie2004

Sorry I haven't come back for some time but have been trying to trace the marriage you suggested.  It seems highly probable that John could have married any Catherine between London and Warks if he was a railway employee!!  John married again between 1851 and 1861 as he has a different wife on the 1861 census.

Thanks for all the help and suggestions - it just goes to show that different dialects produce different spellings.
