I recently found that books by David Thomson (a film critic) and David Thomson (a historian) were all listed under the film critic's name. I edited all of the historian's books, so that the name read 'David Thomson (1912-1970)'. Is this the right thing to do, and if not, what should I do in future?

No, the proper thing to do is add an extra space in one of the author's names. See this thread and this page in the librarian manual for more info.
