Restoration please of my photo of the Fennelly Family of Newcastle-Upon-Tyne

[njlois]

I don't even know which one is my grandmother, it was and still is the only photo I've ever seen of her.  As you can see, there was a tear in the original and I attempted to fix it but succeeeded in mucking up the gentleman standing on the left.   Any chance of gently repairing this?
Thanks!!   Oh, it's the Fennelly Family of Newcastle-Upon-Tyne.   I think my 'repair' also included the left eye of the little girl in the white dress (on the right side as we look at it.)

Slight improvement?, regards, John.

How about a post of the original with tear, (and a better quality scan) might make it easier.

Here is my 5p worth of fixing     .. Did not touch the main part of photo just a bit of back light and sharpening.. and worked on the two faces.


Cheers

I found the 'original'       would it help make it clearer?    thanks for your super quick replies!
