Crossword Genius

Correct husband for her (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

edith

'her' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'correct husband' is the wordplay.
'correct' becomes 'edit' (I've seen this before).
'husband' becomes 'h'.
'edit'+'h'='EDITH'

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for edith that I've seen before include "Female name" , "Woman" , "- Cavell, nurse executed in 1915" , "Osbert's sister" , "Woman's name" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
