No... unless you are fourth cousins. Sorry

The question is not entirely clear, but there is no dispensation required for an interracial marriage. Perhaps it is a mixed marriage in regard to religion that was meant? If the dispensation to a mixed marriage has already been secured from the Catholic Church than this means the Church is willing to witness your marriage and you may proceed with the guidance of your parish priest.

A dispensation is a granted exception from the rules.

In matters of discipline (not doctrine) a priest, bishop or the pope can grant a dispensation.

To give some examples:

A priest can grant someone a dispensation to miss mass on a given Sunday.

A bishop can grant someone a dispensation to marry outside of the church.

The pope can grant a dispensation allowing someone to be ordained a priest without first attending seminary school.

This is not to be confused with doctrine. There is no such thing as a dispensation excusing someone from doctrine.

For instance, the pope can't grant someone a dispensation to commit adultery. This is because it goes against the Church's doctrine, and everyone must follow the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Catholic Answer:

Not in the eyes of the Catholic Church. For Catholics, a valid marriage cannot be dissolved through human means. This means that a divorced couple is still married and thus is not free to marry someone else. Add to this the fact that a Catholic is obliged to marry according to the Catholic form of marriage (which usually means marrying inside the Catholic Church) barring dispensation, and this scenario is unlikely to be accepted.

The only way that this would be accepted by the Catholic Church is if the divorced party gets an annulment (which means that the Church recognizes that a valid marriage did not occur) and the Catholic man gets dispensation from his bishop from marrying according to the Catholic form. Unless and until the annulment is granted and the dispensation procured it would not be possible to marry and so their marriage would be tantamount to adultery. If the Catholic party consents to this he is in mortal sin and would need to go to confession and regularize his situation before receiving the Sacraments.

Literal Answer:

Since the Anglican Church is not governed by the beliefs and interpretations of the Catholic Church, there should be no impediment to a divorced Catholic woman marrying in an Anglican church; although, it would be up to the individual church. I have heard that it is actually quite common, and that Catholic priests tend to gravitate to the Anglican Church when they choose to marry.
