He lived near Victoria (6)
I believe the answer is:
albert
'near victoria' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'he lived' is the wordplay.
'he' becomes 'Al'.
'lived' becomes 'bert' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'al'+'bert'='ALBERT'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for albert that I've seen before include "and 7: French missionary" , "watch may depend on it" , "Queen Victoria's consort or Mr Reynolds, ex-taoiseach" , "Victim of lion" , "Prince with 24" .)
