Question: Did St!. Peter have a wife!? What was her name!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Yes he did!. She is not named anywhere in the Bible!. But legend identifies her with the Catholic Saint Perpetua!. Legend has it that he also had a daughter, who is sometimes identified with the St!. Petronilla!.

Both of these saint, however, seem to have come from wealthy Roman families and probably had no relation to St!. Peter!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Her name was not recorded in the Gospels, but he evidently at some point had a wife!. Mark 1: 29 - 39 records Jesus healing Peter's mother-in-law!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Mary, it seems they called almost all women Mary at that time!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
