Thanks for your help, loobylooby.
6, soldiers were..... in quarters.
9 you are looking for a meat joint, not a word I knew!
20 you are correct about WG, but take it one stage further to a rhyme about days babies are born
22 this is an anagram
64 three letter word for pub, followed by usual abbreviation for nothing and then a small American coin.
Hope these help.

You are looking for a name which comes from anagram of 3 of the words in the clue. If you use anagram solver, you will find it gives names - Something lots of other sites don’t.

Sorry, should have said the answer comes from anagram of 3 words when you had only asked for assistance on first word.

Winnie - replying to your post 73 (dated 22/09);As I mentioned a few days ago, I have completed all except number 97, which I am virtually certain ends with a letter "T". However, I continue to work on the likely answer, but so far no joy!! (Someone mentioned Howard Carter in an earlier post, but his main function was a word which contained not 12, but 13 letters, so I have shelved that. There is, however an alternative spelling of it, containing the requisite 12 letters.)

Hello Dougglas, thanks for your reply - I was beginning to think everyone had tuned out !! I have found the alternative spelling too, and if by mid Nov. I have not 'cracked' this clue, I will probably resort to this answer. But I am still trying to beat the 'little brute'!!

Headley re clue 50. For 'form' think 'classroom' and then you might get the answer.

I've decided to go with Egyptologist for 97. If you google it, the first thing it says is archaeologist and re the 'old housing' - the pyramids are old and they housed the bodies of the pharaohs.

Thanks ladybee re 97 - that is the answer I started off with and will probably stick with. I am not happy with the alternative spelling of the answer beginning with A.
