Please check the following
- Do you have backup (iTunes or iClouds), --> Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup ...
- iCloud backup doesn’t include information already stored in iCloud, like Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks, Mail, Notes, Voice Memos, shared photos, iCloud Photos*, Health data, call history, and files you store in iCloud Drive.
- *-If you had turned on iCloud Photos, your content is automatically stored in iCloud.
- Did you sync with iCloud earlier and now it is disabled. Then again --> Set up iCloud on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple ...
- Have you ever imported your photos to Mac/PC --? Use Photos on your Mac - Apple Support OR Set up and use iCloud Photos on your Windows PC - Apple ...
- Have you ever uploaded them to any Drives (OnDrive, Drive, Flickr, DropBox) - Back up iPhone data with Google Drive - iPhone & iPad ...
- There are only three possibilities that I can think of right now...
- You have restored from a backup which does not have those Photos you are looking for
- You have un-synced your iPhone using iTunes
- You may have imported them to Mac/PC into Photos App and have ticked "Delete after Import"
