Mitochondrial DNA T1 confirmed by second descendant test

Update on Peggy's and my own mitochondrial DNA, I elected to add the mtDNA plus test to Peggy's autosomal kit at FTDNA and the results are in, it's confirmed T1, one day I will upgrade further to the FMS (mtFullSequence), but for now because we have both been tested at 23andme.com as T1a1 I don't feel the need.  This has also been confirmed with my 3C1R Amanda Bortolussi who is downline of Zenobia Mundy through another daughter Elizabeth Ann Davis taking a 23andme test and coming back with T1a1.  Amanda has also joined us on WikiTree and has connected with our tree and is growing hers, fantastic to have you onboard Amanda.

Below is a chart of our mitochondrial DNA lineage:

Unidentified Photo #0131 - Family, Mum, Dad & Girl - Wishful Wednesday

Photo #0131 from Emily May Miller nee Davis' photo album.

Are you able to assist in identifying this family?

On the back of the photo is written Emily, 

but I think Emily has done that herself to identify it as her photo.

It's interesting that there is an extra hand on the left shoulder (looking at the picture) 

and the person has been left off in the printing.

A LITTLE MUNDY HISTORY..

The 'General Hewitt' was an agricultural ship which left Plymouth on 12th Aug 1848. From the shipping records we find that both Peter and Jane could read & write and were in good health, below is an extract from the shipping records.
