Hi Steve,
There are very few PRETTY entries in the 1851 Census, but one
may interest you,

Bincombe
John Pretty, 25 Carter, Chard, Som, 68 4.
Susan Pretty, 22, Fordington, Dors, 68 4.
Mary J Pretty, 3, Fordington, Dors, 68 4.
Eliza Pretty, 1, Fordington, Dors, 68 4.

It is very likely that Sarah Selina was the next child.

My own ancestors with the same surname were around Yeovil Somerset in the
early 1800's.

Regards,
Antony Nailer,
Dorchester, Dorset.
