12a Crescent ?

1d could then be MARRIAGES

17d Check out BANGSTER!?

[wendyl]

thanks to both of you. Had also tried Mother's day but stupidly I had put an answer I was positive about in the wrong place!
3d wipe out, like divorce (7) e?p?n?e expunge ?
I think gangster more likely than bangster crofter but it put me on the right track
last one 6d Is Aunt Bathsheba his wife (5,4) uncle ?a?e
