Family calender is missing

I've been sharing my icloud calendar with my wife for years. When ios16 came out with the improved family sharing we switched to a shared photo library and I've been trying to work out how to use the shared Family calendar. I'm the organiser of the family sharing group and yet I can only see my personal icloud calendar on all of my devices and my icloud.com?

Maybe the shared family calendar has been accidentally deleted, I've checked to see if it can be restored but it's not in the icloud backups.

According the apple help, when you setup family sharing a family calendar is automatically created. This is the one I'm looking for but is apparently missing. Everything else to do with family sharing is working fine.

How do I go about creating a new family calendar that's shared with the family group?

Thanks

Setting up a shared calendar is described here:

Share a calendar on iCloud.com - Apple Support

Did you already check on your device, if on your device viewing this family calendar is enabled?

Set up multiple calendars on iPhone - Apple Support

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

I know how to setup shared calendars (as I mentioned I've been using one for a number of years). And I've already checked my iphone, ipad, macbook and mac studio for this auto created Family Calendar that was supposedly setup when I turned on Family Sharing. It's not on any of my devices but oddly enough it is on my wifes iphone.

So what I'm thinking is that when I originally set up the family sharing group, that Family calendar was created and I mistakenly deleted it. So now I want to know how I can get it back so that it's the main, shared calendar for the whole family.

Did you already try to create a new calendar and share this one again with your family group?

Can your wife see on her iPhone, if the original family calendar is still shared with you?

You have also disabled "Calendars" in the settings for iCloud on your device and enabled it again afterwards, to see if it appears again somehow?
