Redmarley or Redmarley D'Abitot? (General)

I too have ancestors(Brace & Merrick) from Redmarley as we've always called it, although I've not visited the village since the 90's when my aunt passed away. Hence I've only recently learnt during my Family History researches that it's formally named Redmarley D'Abitot and has been since medieval times (see my separate post).
I've always assumed Redmarley and Redmarley D'Abitot to be one & the same.

However, while searching the internet I "discovered" another, different, Redmarley !. This is in Worcestershire just SW of Stourport on Severn.
The fact that until the 1930s "our" Redmarley was also part of Worcestershire, now Glos, can only perhaps add to the possible confusion. So while I'm not suggesting this or any other website is in error or should reconsider their use of the name Redmarley, I must urge researchers to be aware there are indeed two Redmarleys... which one is the "ghost" I do not know...
