Can any one help please with a conundrum. I have a (male) cousin who did not marry and they had a child, the mother went onto marry someone else and had another child, I believe this would still be a half sibling to the first child. Now if the mother remarries yet again (spouse died) and has another child would that still be called a half-sibling?
Yes.
To be in a half-sibling relationship, the individuals must share one parent without sharing two parents. In your scenario, the one mother would have three birth children with a different man being the birth father for each child. So if you take any two of the three children and compare them to each other, they will have a birth mother in common without having a birth father in common. Hence they are half-siblings.
