(Ireland)
10. Not from Stewarton, as he lies over the ocean. Burns
11. Being Welsh, was he of the White Rock? Peter...

Number 9 is right.
You have the first half of 17, but there is no anagram involved.
Your first thought on 16 was very close, but lacked the synonym
for "stop."
Time, perhaps, for further hints towards some of the others.
06. Straw, goose, cloud, Logan.
10. Not from Stewarton, as he lies over the ocean - or rather
the Channel.
11. His surname "of the White Rock" is heard each year at the
cenotaph. An engine shares his forename.
12. Dr John (observed to have been in Afghanistan) twice
achieved the Rugby pinnacle.
18. Did he have a fairy tale career? Or did he give shelter?
21. Much simpler! Lofty is the key word. No geographical
knowledge involved.
26. Ringer's Irish nemesis. Ringer is a surname.
28. The happy upshot of the feeding of the 5000. only one Guy
had brought food, but many ....
34 Had a rule for each hand. Vague memories of O-Level Physics.
35. You had the basic idea earlier, but needed to include the
idea of extend or expand.
in the meantime anje-roo has added two correct answers.
