Is she also allowed to avail the benefits even after having a child from second husband

No, the widow of deceased Govt employee is not entitled to get family pension after that widow remarriage.
However, the children of the deceased are entitled for the pension upto certain age. But if the deceased don’t have children, and the widow remarriage then widow is not entitled for pension henceforth.
