• My own thought — not as if teaching it — is that, “the co-elect in Babylon” means the brotherhood or company of the elect saints there; and that Marcus was not Peter’s actual son — save in the faith. (“Exhortations” by W.T.P. Wolston)
• Not from the Apocalyptic Babylon did Peter write, but from the great ruined city in the East, to which Jews strangely clung, when the natives migrated elsewhere. Many Jews still lived there as they did for hundreds of years after as before, and there had a famous school of Rabbinical lore. (“1 Peter 5:12-14” by W. Kelly)
• The Apostle, we see, was careful not to speak of "the church" as such in either of his Epistles: they are essentially individual in their character. It was an oversight, therefore, to interpolate "the church." (“1 Peter 5:12-14” by W. Kelly)
• One likes to think of Mark in happy and devoted service, as none other than he whose early failure is recorded when he ventured in zeal beyond his then faith to accompany Barnabas and Saul on their first circuit among the Gentiles....Any other Mark, like any other Silas, we might expect to be distinguished from each of those familiar to us in scripture. (“1 Peter 5:12-14” by W. Kelly)

It may be "brotherhood," as at ver. 9, as that is feminine; or his wife, as it is simply co-elect in the feminine.

WK Translation Notes

a
It is interesting to note that the Sinaitic MSS. does read here "church." In this it stands alone among primary authorities: a thing almost impossible, if true; but easily accountable, if spurious. It was an oversight, therefore, to interpolate "the church," even in italics. We have no ground to think there was an assembly there, and can readily conceive that the apostle with his wife, and Mark caring in love for them. It was probably a well-known sister there; and therefore it was enough simply to allude to her. The Revisers seem justified in holding it to be some well-known sister, perhaps Peter’s wife: the salutation of Marcus that follows confirms this.
b
"She that is joint-elect" appears to be the true force.
