Thank you everyone for the suggestions - tagging and checking seems a good way to go although I like the idea of Laura and Anne's suggestions of using a data base and think I will try this. It seems a more 'visual' way of checking what I have. I appreciate everyone's help.
I'm not a name or tree collector, in fact my tree is fairly small because I always (or thought I always) triple checked that I could prove the connection etc. Yes - I do have a few people who I believe are connected and who I have entered but they are tagged and I have notes in the research section indicating why they are there and what I need to do to find proof. I never go back further on that line until I have cleared up the queries in my notes. My 'Smith' issue is not from just entering names that I have 'collected' but is from having - for example - three Parish marriage records for John Smith who all married Mary ? and inadvertently adding the wrong Mary, therefore making Mary's tree incorrect. Somewhere in the line I have (for example) had 3 John's the children of 3 Thomas and Mary, all born within a 3 year period and I have in error given each Thomas the wrong son. You could say I made a clerical error and now I have to go back to the beginning and fix it. I've got nearly all the paper work, it's one of my biggest lines and includes many people who unfortunately share between them only a handful of Christian names. Thank you everyone for your suggestions. I can see I have a bit of work ahead of me.
