Can anyone clear up this image of a Carr Family Wedding from the 1940s

It was photocopied a while back while the toner was low. The owner of the photo has now passed away and I have no idea who will have received the original picture.

Many Thanks and good luck.

Did what I could, but do not know how to fix scan lines. I tried every little trick known to counter it but nothing worked in the end; though I managed to clone stamp the door way, but using the same idea with the rest did not work and/or looked unacceptable.

Thanks Jloy!

It's a 1000 times better. Good Job!

A lot of detail lost but.......

small edition: but no good

Perhaps a slight improvement, but not good.

Yet another attempt! I'm not sure this is any better, because now it has introduced artifacts (ringing) at the sides.
If anyone wishes to use either of these results as a starting point - feel free.

@Cazza59,

A very impressive result for this difficult photograph!
May I ask how you achieved it? I am always eager to learn.
