Not interlinked, but not far apart. Shalstone is in North Bucks (I was chatting to the last of its Lords of the Manor last night); Paulerspury is just over the border in South Northants. It is possible that her family moved from one to the other when she was small, and either she picked the wrong place first time, or she was right and someone else guessed next time, because a sibling was born in the other. Whatever, looking at the registers of both parishes should produce family information. -- Eve McLaughlin Author of the McLaughlin Guides for family historians Secretary Bucks Genealogical Society
