I have an ext2 partition which was formerly my working

There are backup superblocks spaced throughout the partition.
mke2fs (!) will be able to tell you where they are, if you used
the default (make sure to give it the do nothing flag...).
Once you have the backup superblocks, e2fsck might be able to help you.
Make sure to only work on a copy. And read the man pages.
