It would seem that your gandmother's maiden name was RANKIN.I do not know how the surname of PRETTY come into the family, but if you are able to expalin a bit further, in light of the above, I am happy to look up further information. I am not even sure if the marriage of PRETTY to HENDERSON is part of your family.
Hope I have not confused the issue.
