yes a catholic can receive communion, even if they live common-law, it is all about how they themselves feel about receiving communion.
Roman Catholic AnswerWithout knowing more than what you have given in the question: No, a Catholic not living in a state of grace can not receive Holy Communion without going to Confession and receiving Absolution from a priest. If a Catholic is in an irregular marriage, then they should seek out a priest and have the situation rectified as soon as possible. In the meantime they should live as brother and sister.A personal aside: The Catholic Church is not about a set of rules. The Catholic Church exists only to manifest the love of God and to help people attain heaven. The "rules" are not so much "rules" as they are guidance, a priest recently said, "would you say that when your car's GPS says "turn right" it is issuing a rule? No, of course not, the GPS is just trying to direct you in the right way. If you ignore it, you are either going to have to turn around or go a long way around to get back on the correct route. It's not perfect, but it is a good analogy for what people call the "rules" of the Church. It's not trying to be hard on you, it's just pointing out the way that you must live your life if you don't want to damage yourself, your spouse, and end up not in heaven.

Can a catholic married to non-catholic in civil ceremony receive communion?
This is a difficult question to dissect. I think what you mean is that a Catholic gets married to a Non-Catholic in a Civil Ceremony and then sometime later wants to receive Communion. Any Catholic can receive Communion and should, as long as they are not aware of any mortal sin. In this situation, Catholics must be married in the Catholic Church or receive a dispensation to be married elsewhere. If this is not done, it is a grave offense (mortal sin) and a confession is required before going to Communion again.

.Catholic AnswerOf course not, an Anglican is a protestant, a Catholic Church is Catholic. An Anglican may receive Holy Communion in a Catholic Church after completing RCIA classes and being brought into the Church at the Easter Vigil, but if they wish to remain an Anglican, they are, by that very fact, proclaiming that they are not in communion with the Catholic Church, so to receive Holy Communion in a Catholic Church would be a lie and dangerous to their spiritual well-being. Aside from all that, Catholics to not "take" Holy Communion, they "receive" Holy Communion.
