And there it is!

Idril
1 up = Turgon
1 across = his cousin, Galadriel
1 down = Celebrian
==, ie married to
2 down from Idril = Elrond son of Earendil son of Idril

So the answers are Idril and Celebrian.

(Originally I remembered them as being a simpler variety of cousin; in hindsight going 3 up, 3 down, via Finwe.)

Over to you!
