That will be hard to find the answer to, due to the fact that there are no records proving it. Catholic dates back to a really long time.
The answer depends upon whether the Catholic man's first marriage was canonically valid, and, if so, whether he has been granted an annulment. The marriage of a Catholic in a civil ceremony, for example, is not canonically valid in the eyes of the Church. In most cases, such a marriage would not require an annulment for a second marriage in the Church to take place. If, however, the first marriage was valid in the eyes of the Church, as for example, a Catholic wedding, then it will be necessary for the man's first marriage to be annuled before he can validly contract a second Catholic marriage.
No, she is Roman Catholic by birth and first marriage.
Yes, you can. If you were baptized as CATHOLIC and married by a Presbyterian minister your marriage is invalid in the eyes of the church ( although your civil marriage is certainly valid). You can have your marriage validated by the Catholic church as long as this is your first and only marriage and your spouse's first and only marriage. Your spouse and you would need to agree to raise any children Catholic, make a permanent commitment for life, and do this freely. If this is not a first marriage, it is still possible, but a bit more complicated, so contact a parish priest or deacon.
No, the church recognizes your first marraige as valid, and the only way is to have the first marriage annuled by the church, if such is warranted. This is possible, only if you have good case, but is a long involved process. Then, after that, you would need to understand the commitment that a Catholic marriage means fo raisng children in the catholic faith.
If she is divorced but not remarried, she can be a Catholic. If she has remarried she will need to seek an annulment of the first marriage before she can fully participate in the Catholic Church. .
The Answer is NO. A married Catholic cannot have a second wife till the time the first marriage is annulled.
Roman Catholic AnswerNo, anytime there is an attempt at marriage on record, that attempt must first be declared void before the Church can perform a marriage. So if there was a first marriage - regardless of the circumstances, it must still be declared null and void before permission can be granted for a marriage. Speak to your parish priest about this as soon as possible as annulment is long and involved. The Church normally assumes the attempted marriage was valid when beginning an investigation, and all judgments must be appealed to Rome. However, if you were a Catholic when you attempted a marriage outside the Church, in this instance, they will probably assume that there was not a valid marriage and the annulment might not take as long.

Ifa Catholic was married by a justice of the peace in a civil ceremony, the marriage can be validated,or blessed, by the Catholic church under ceratin conditions ( first marriage,etc.). It is not a new marraige, but a validation of the existing marriage. If not not married, there is no service blessing of a relationship.
traditionally, it's the man who will first say 'i do'
He got an annulment from the Catholic Church from his first marriage to Joan.
If you and your partner are same sex, no. If you were not married previously in a Catholic church, yes. If you were married previously in a Catholic church, no, unless you apply for, pay for, and are granted an annulment by the Catholic church.ANSWER: Actually, you would need an annulment of your 1st marriage regardless of where your first marriage was performed (i.e., by a justice of the peace). Obtaining an annulment of your 1st marriage if married by a JofP is pretty easy b/c you, as a Catholic, weren't supposed to marry by a Jof TP in the first marriage -- it wasn't a sacramental marriage.
