3rd cousin 4 times removed - i think.

R and B's children are 1st cousins.
R and B's grandchildren are 2nd cousins.
R and B's great grandchildren are 3rd cousins.
Then you count the generations down the one, longer, line until you reach yourself.

Second Cousin Five Times Removed?

As Benjamin and Richard were brothers their father would be the common ancestor and Julies 6xG grandfather.

Oops! you're correct Andysmum - I missed one great out :-)

Researching:
I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday

I'd have said 3rd cousin 5 times removed.

EDIT - Apologies, it is 4 times removed. I counted Benjamin and 5 times great grandfather as two people and they are one and the same!!
