Daughter carried by Irishman in old chair (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sedan

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'old chair' is the definition.
'sedan' can be an answer for 'chair' (thesaurus). I am unsure of the 'old' bit.

'daughter carried by irishman' is the wordplay.
'daughter' becomes 'd'.
'carried by' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'irishman' becomes 'sean' (I've seen this in other clues).
'd' inserted within 'sean' is 'SEDAN'.

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sedan that I've seen before include "Type of chair - battle" , "A closed litter for one passenger" , "Covered seat carried by bearers" , "Chair to be carried by two" , "Palanquin; car" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
