One additional thought: question dumping a husband in Suffolk town (7)
I believe the answer is:
ipswich
'suffolk town' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ipswich that I've seen before include "Country town of Suffolk" , "9 across town" , "Wolsey's birthplace" , "Suffolk town on the River Orwell" , "County town of Suffolk" .)
