Just for some information, here is an article about the poorhouse that was in Wellington County.  If one of them were in the poorhouse, this would have been the place.  It still exists today as an historical site and is where the Wellington County Archives is located.

We might just be looking for a mother only for Christina as well, I suppose...Although Maggie was born McIntosh surname, she called herself Vickers, so the same could be for Christina as well...

More on the Elora Vickers......John, George & Thomas are on a the town's list, No mention of the brother Francis

That's so funny I was just going to post this when I saw that:
Name: Ann Maria Davies died May 31,1909 (Age 35 years 11 months 10 days) Wearton, Bruce, Ont
Born June 10 1873 Elora, Ont.  Spouse John H. Davies
Parents Francis Vickers & Jane Mcintosh

Do you have deaths for the parents?
Why would she call the child her mother's surname? Oh, if these are the parents then yes she was McIntosh surname...

[J.J.]

Uh, here they are in 1881...
Names aren't easy to read...She may be the M she used for a middle name?
