As LadyCFII states in this thread (one of many), "remarriage of a widowed peep is possible if a couple had no children (either by birth or adoption). However, if you choose to have the widowed spouse remarry, the new spouse will replace the deceased spouse on the family tree."

So, no, the father of your family will be unable to remarry, as he has children.
