Home Counties woman, one married in Barcelona, say? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

senora

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

'one married in barcelona say?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.

'home counties woman' is the wordplay.
'home counties' becomes 'SE' (the Home Counties are in the South East of England).
'woman' becomes 'nora' (woman's name).
'se'+'nora'='SENORA'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for senora that I've seen before include "Spanish title" , "Mrs or madam (Spanish)" , "Lady of Spain" , "Lady overseas" , "woman from Barcelona" .)
