I think i my have gone terribly wrong somewhere as nothing seems to fit...

Identities in small house: one hasn't lived anywhere for ages (11 ??E?O?A???S STEGOSAURUS is the only thing that comes close to fitting a Def. but, apart from 'S' for 'Small', I can't parse any of it

I think these are correct but am stuck on the parsing...

Just acknowledge trimmed ginger or blonde - FAIR HAIRED If 'Just' = 'Fair' and 'Trimmed Ginger' = (r)ED then that leaves 'Hair' for Acknowledge? How so?

Wandered constantly never seeing very small animal - ROE DEER fits the pattern but can't see the parsing

You can hear more than one hawthorn plant with ears - MAIZE (I think)

May is another name for Hawthorn, so Mays sounds like Maize.
Can't help with the others but I have the same and am also not sure of parsing.

Thanks Mary, there are a few this week that I've had to put in from the Def. alone. I'll look at them again later on with fresh eyes and maybe see what I'm missing.
