    No, I don't think he was married. One of the gospels would have mentioned it if he had been.

    Don't know for sure, wasn't there. You might do some research in the "Nag Hammadi" text Excepted from http://www.gnosis.org/naghamm/nhl.html

    "The Nag Hammadi Library, a collection of thirteen ancient codices containing over fifty texts, was discovered in upper Egypt in 1945. This immensely important discovery includes a large number of primary Gnostic scriptures -- texts once thought to have been entirely destroyed during the early Christian struggle to define "orthodoxy" -- scriptures such as the Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Philip, and the Gospel of Truth.

    The discovery and translation of the Nag Hammadi library, completed in the 1970's, has provided impetus to a major re-evaluation of early Christian history and the nature of Gnosticism."

    There's info on the subject there.

    The earliest extant mss. of the Gnostic gospels is placed betwen 350-400AD. According to a number of scholars the date for the writing of the autographs is no earlier than the 2nd century AD.
