They keep records of unbelievable husband leaving Maidenhead (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tallymen

'they keep records' is the definition.
(people who keep scores)

'unbelievable husband leaving maidenhead' is the wordplay.
'unbelievable' becomes 'tall' (e.g. 'a tall story').
'husband' becomes 'h'.
'leaving' suggests deleting specific letters.
'maidenhead' becomes 'hymen' (synonyms).
'hymen' with 'h' removed is 'ymen'.
'tall'+'ymen'='TALLYMEN'

'of' acts as a link.

(Another definition for tallymen that I've seen is " Hawkers".)
