AS ALWAYS, you are wrong: 1. Does the declaration by the Catholic Church that a marriage is "annulled" mean that there never was any marriage to begin with ?

ANSWER: No. There are two different types of marriages that need to be considered. These types are (1) a legal marriage recognized by the state and (2) a Sacramental marriage recognized by the Church. An annulment means that there never was a Sacramental marriage. It in no way affects the legitimacy, one way or the other, of the legal or state marriage.

2. Does an annulment make the children of that marriage bastard children ?

ANSWER: Definitely not. Bastard children are defined as being children from a union that is not recognized as a valid legal marriage. Since an annulment has no bearing on the legitimacy of the legality of the state marriage it has nothing to do with the children being bastards or not.
