Can You Help

I have been reading the Reach Chronicles and was most interested by the following:

Sale at REACH, taken from the Cambridge Chronicle, 25th November 1854

Two small allotments of Arable land at Reach to be Sold at Mrs Sarah Mason's public house known as the White Swan in Reach on 8th December.

I am in the process of tracing my ancestry, and am aware that my great-grandfather came from the Reach area. His name was Henry Mason, and his mother's name was Sarah. I wonder if it is likely that the Sarah Mason who owned the White Swan could be my great-great grandmother.

Are you aware of any information which might give further details of Sarah Mason, and thus help me to fill in a little more of the picture?

Look forward to hearing from you,
