British male wrong to have daughter charged (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

blamed

'charged' is the definition.
(blaming is a kind of charging)

'british male wrong to have daughter' is the wordplay.
'british' becomes 'b' (abbreviation e.g. in BBC).
'wrong' is an anagram indicator.
'to have' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'daughter' becomes 'd' (genealogical abbreviation).
'b'+'male'='bmale'
'bmale' anagrammed gives 'blame'.
'blame'+'d'='BLAMED'

(Other definitions for blamed that I've seen before include "Censured" , "Attribute responsibility to" , "Condemned" , "Bedlam (anag)" , "Held responsible for bedlam" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
