People have different views about the story of the nativity. I've never heard of Jesus having siblings and wouldn't expect there to be any in that context. My view is that the story of the nativity is a beautiful symbolic work of art which, like many ancient stories, is probably based on some elements of truth, though not all to be taken literally. In all probability it was created by writers and artists sometime after Christ's birth to fill a gap in the history of his life, once he became recognised as the person he was.

Yes - the bible tells us Jesus had brothers and sisters.

As I can't get my head round the notion of the virgin birth, I doubt if Mary and Joseph existed.

Yes!. Jesus had half brothers and sisters, children of Joseph and Mary.
The bible has little to say about Joseph, so it is likely he died young.

(Luke 8:19) Now his mother and brothers came toward him, but they were unable to get to him because of the crowd.
These were his fleshly brothers.
(Matthew 12:49) And extending his hand toward his disciples, he said: “Look! My mother and my brothers!
If this had been in a spiritual sense, he would have called his mother [ spiritual] sister...
so again, his brothers were fleshly.
(John 2:12) After this he and his mother and brothers and his disciples went down to Ca·per′na·um, but they did not stay there many days.
