The bible does not tell us a thing about Simon except his name. For certain he was not Simon Peter.
As a starting point you could refer to 2 Peter 1:21.
It should say in the dictionary in the back of your bible. Other then there ii don't know what to tell you.
In Matthew 16:17-19, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven. And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven." Jesus was affirming Peter's faith and declaring him as the foundation of the church. The "keys of the kingdom of heaven" symbolize Peter's authority and leadership in spreading the message of Jesus and guiding the early Christian community.
Matthew 8:14, Mark 1:30, and Luke 4:38 tell of the healing of Simon Peter's sick mother-in-law. By association a mother-in-law implies having a wife, but the wife is not directly mentioned in the New Testament. The book of 1 Peter chapter 3 for example refers to husbands and wives of which Peter had experience with.
Luke 4:31-39 and parallel passages tell us that Peter's home-town was Capernaum.
There is no direct reference in the bible to Simon Peter being crucified. The two references to his death are in John 21:19 where Peter asked Jesus how he would die. The bible does not record Jesus' response. The second reference, which is where Catholic historians draw a reference to crucifixion is in the previous verse (John 21:18) which prompted Peter to ask Jesus about his manner of death. ("when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not.") Some feel that the reference to outstretched hands is referring to crucifixion.
Yes. The Bible mentions in Mark 1:30 and a couple of other places that Peter was married, it says "Mar 1:30 But Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they tell him of her." I don't think the Bible mentions whether any of the other disciples were married or not. But that doesn't necessarily mean they weren't.

Jesus gave the name "Peter" to Simon, one of his apostles, which means "rock" in Greek. Jesus said, "And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church" in the Gospel of Matthew.

Peter's original name was Simon bar Jonah (Simon, son of Jonah). It was, in fact, Christ who changed Simon's name to Peter, meaning "the rock", because Christ would build His church on Peter, the leader of the disciples. In Matthew 16:16, Simon declared to Jesus, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." In response, In Matthew 16:17-18, Jesus answered, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by man, but by my Father in heaven. And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it."
