Cousin's Great Grand Aunt married an older brother of my Great Grandfather.
Does this help?

From the above, your blood relations are:

Your parent
Your grandparent
Your great-grandfather
Your great-grandfather's brother

From the above, your 'cousin's' blood relatives are:

Their parent
Their grandparent
Their great-grandparent
Their great-grandparent's sister

If you consider your great-grandfather's brother could have married anyone and/or had multiple marriages, and it doesn't make the person or people he married any blood relative of yours unless he married his own cousin, but if that was the case, I presume you would have mentioned it in your opening post. If he did marry a relative then you would need to know that relationship before you could work out how you are related to your 'cousin'.
