Crossword Genius

After that, the first of November (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

then

'after that' is the definition.
('then' can be a synonym of 'after that')

'the first of november' is the wordplay.
'first of' suggests taking the first letters.
The first letter of 'november' is 'n'.
'the'+'n'='THEN'

(Other definitions for then that I've seen before include "Subsequently - previously" , "soon?" , "Consequently" , "At that time; next" , "Afterwards - as a result" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
