zgirnius:
Mrs. Walburga Black was born Miss Walburga Black. She is the daughter 
of Pollux Black, the granddaughter of Cygnus Black, and the great-
granddaughter of Phineas Nigellus Black. She married her second cousin, 
Orion Black (also a descendant of Phineas Nigellus, but through another 
of his sons). So as you point out, even if she had married a non-Black, 
her dates would have been on the tree, as she is a Black by birth.
