The chart states the child of your first cousin is your 1st cousin once removed which is what I'd put in the post earlier.
Yes, that is right.

But you said the children of first cousins are first cousins once removed. The child of your first cousin is indeed your first cousin once removed, but the children of two people who are first cousins to one another are second cousins.

Wrong, I'm afraid. The child of your 1st cousin once removed is your 1st cousin twice removed.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

My tree includes first cousins marrying; also second cousins; also third cousins.  The good news is that my knuckles don't drag on the ground, and Family Historian can cope with this and draw useful charts.
