i believe that Peter had an unfaithful wife that he could not control and was forced to kill her. either he had her cremated and as an insult, kept her ashes in either a dried pumpkin shell or a gourd. this could also be from the times when people were interred and then exhumed due to lack of cemetery space at which time he placed her bones in a pumpkin shell. urns were made of clay and were fairly cheap which made the fact he placed her remains in a pumpkin shell an insult.

The nursery rhyme is "The House That Jack Built," where the verse about the husband reads: "This is the priest all shaven and shorn, that married the man all tattered and torn, that kissed the maiden all forlorn, that milked the cow with the crumpled horn, that tossed the dog, that worried the cat, that killed the rat, that ate the malt that lay in the house that Jack built." It does not mention keeping a wife in a shell.
A man whose wife is dead is called a widower.
