Please restore this family picture

I would appreciate some cleaning and sharpening of this picture of my great great grandparents and their family outside their home in Hill End NSW about 1893.
My thanks to all restorers on this forum who provide a wonderful service.

Love the crispness and clarity of the facial features ... really, really wonderful.  I also think I like the tree out of the picture from the LH side!  Again, many thanks, japeflakes.

I make it 15 folks and a parrot.  Must have been a tight squeeze.

AAAAaaah hopefully though, they did not all live in that miner's cottage!  This pic is over 100 years old and I have had it for about 40 years ...  I noticed the parrot only when I went to put it on this site!
