some clues may have a misprint, some clues have a single letter missing:

34a Women engaged Parisian fairies to collect one and one and one hundred (8) ?????EE?
26a Thaler perhaps is charged (5) ????C

fiancees?

fees means fairies in french.

26a ionic?

anag [perhaps] of coin (thaler) with i(s) put in

....indirect anagram, so probably not!

25 across - misprint of thaler gives Thales which was in Ionia so Ionic is right.

Thank you trevor, alwayspuzzled & ixion for your replies - i had to go out shortly after I'd posted and only just got back.
Hope to be able to finish now!
