Born in Bourne End? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nee

'born' is the definition.
('nee' is 'born' in French)

'in bourne end?' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'NEE' is hidden in the letters of 'bourne end'.

(Other definitions for nee that I've seen before include "(Of married woman) born (with name)" , "Used to indicate the maiden name of a married woman" , "Word used to indicate family name of a married woman" , "Used to show a married woman's single name" , "Indicating the birth name of a married woman" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
