Old officials concerning the First Lady and son (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reeves

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

'old officials' is the definition.
'reeves' can be an answer for 'officials' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the 'old' bit.

'concerning the first lady and son' is the wordplay.
'concerning' becomes 're' (both can mean on a particular topic).
'the first' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'lady' becomes 'eve' (I've seen this before).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'son' becomes 's' (genealogical abbreviation for son).
're'+'eve'+'s'='REEVES'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for reeves that I've seen before include "officials" , "Keanu - - (films)" , "Old magistrates" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
