I have just noticed a major error in my tree I have ancestors names Teat living in Castle Bytham Lincolnshire in the 1600 to 1800 I also have them living in Bytham Castle I assumed someone had just swapped the name around as the people tallied with my info , But have just found they are 2 seperate places and therefore 2 different families who are probably related but not as close as I have them.
Loads of work and time will have to go through it all again at least I can concentrate on the right place now.
Its like I tell everybody else do not assume check!!!!!!!!.
aaaaaaaargh
SORRY All it was late at night and brain not working properly I had some how moved Castle Bytham to the outskirts of Boston in my head and panicked when I found Bytham Castle on the map.

I think we can all relate to you in some way or another, we are only human and we all mistakes.
At least you realised and can correct it :)

Hang on - are you sure they're different places? The only references I can find for Bytham Castle as a locality, as opposed to the castle itself, are as a variant of Castle Bytham, and some of those appear to be of the kind you might see in a gazetteer ("Bytham, Castle").
See these sites for more information:

Where have you found they are two separate places? This map shows Castle Bytham and the site of Bytham Castle. http://maps.nls.uk/view/101591258#zoom=4&lat=5230&lon=3271&layers=BT
