I'd appreciate any help with my last two clues, please.

21 Down Plague interrupting side-branch in poet's ancestry. -YNAGE . I assume this must be LYNAGE but I'm not sure why.

9 Down Caught in police trap, worried blokes getting time-it indicates special needs. S-ATE-E-TI-G. It looks like it must be STATEMENTING but again I'm not sure why.

Thanks in advance for any explanations.

Lynage - 'nag' (plague, in) 'lye' (side-branch of a railway) Statementing - 'ate' (worried) + 'men' (blokes) + 't(ime)' (all in) 'sting'; (police trap)

Statementing - 'ate' (worried) + 'men' (blokes) + 't(ime)' (all in) 'sting'; (police trap)
ate(worried) + men +t(time) inside sting(police trap)
Sting - police trap
ate - worried, as in eating away
men - blokes
statementing - technical term for special needs definition

Thank you both so much. I never feel like I've properly completed a puzzle unless I can explain how I arrived at my answer.
