There's not a lot to work with on this one Mem B,

The boy beside the mother, his face just isn't there, and the little boy with the head turned in the front, he/she looks like a cutie with nothing but curls, same as brother? to the left?.
Anyway, did this with it.

Victoria

Played with curves. I've not done any repair work.   I don't think there's very much in there to work with  :-\

There's just very little to go on.  Here's a first attempt:

Thankyou all for trying. I felt it may have been a hopeless task and just have to accept that it is lost forever.
Thanks anyway.
