Is Rebecca definitely the mother of all the children?
Even allowing for rounding down of ages, she would be very young to have a child in 1814.

1841
Name: Rebecca Makings
Age: 40
Estimated birth year: abt 1801
Gender: Female
Where born: Nottinghamshire, England
Civil Parish: South Leverton
Hundred: Bassetlaw (North Clay Division)
County/Island: Nottinghamshire
Country: England
Registration district: East Retford
Sub-registration district: Clareborough
Piece: 850
Book: 19
Folio: 5
Page Number: 5

John Makings 45
Rebecca Makings 40


Edit - well I suppose she could be 17 or 18. In this case they would probably have married by licence but I can't find anything or even see them on a later census
:-S

Possible:

Deaths Dec 1856 (>99%)

Deaths Dec 1860 (>99%)
Makin Rebecca Nottingham 7b 110

But I still can't find them in 1851.
