I have finished but there are two answers whose derivations are beyond me.

Guardsman curtailed scandalous relationship outside core group = EXOGAMY
Japanese resident, unusual Catholic, mostly upset = AINU

Any help would be appreciated

Exon is the Guardsman, (one of the four commanding officers of the Yeomen of the Guard_ and Gamy is scandalous.

[Neveracrossword]

... so Exo is 'Guardsman curtailed'.

I'm still mulling over the other one.

[doctordolittle]

Ok, EXOGAMY I see that. Let's see how you explain AINU....!!

[Neveracrossword]

For Ainu, there's Uniat, a member of a community of Christians -so Ainu is most of that, reversed (mostly upset).

[doctordolittle]

Genius! I bow to your wisdom...

You're welcome - I'd put the answer in earlier, but didn't investigate how it worked until you asked!
