Sorry, Carol - can't produce any unshakeable canon for my view that 
Mrs. Black married a cousin.  It is mainly a gut feeling about the 
way she refers always to "my" house, rather than "our".  You would 
expect "Sirius, you swine, you have brought disgrace upon your 
father's house".  On the other hand. given the form her madness seems 
to take, you may well be right in thinking that she has become so 
totally obsessed with the purity of the House of Black that she has 
come to believe it really is hers by right of blood.  I am not a 
siriophile, but I do wonder whence he inherited his basic decency, 
given that his father was probably just as awful as his mother, just 
less vocal.
