Mt 12:46 - While He [Jesus] was still talking to the multitudes, behold, His mother and brothers stood outside, seeking to speak with Him.
Mt 13:55 - Is this [Jesus] not the carpenter's son? Is not His mother called Mary? And His brothers James, Joses, Simon, and Judas? And His sisters, are they not all with us? {implying that they married}
Ga 1:19 - But I [Paul] saw none of the other apostles except James, the Lord's brother.
It is believed that James became the bishop of Jerusalem; he is the one who wrote the book of James in the New Testament.
Of the others, it is not specified in the Bible. He also had sisters, of whom it is only said that they married.

Yes, they lived lives that are not recorded in the Bible, the New Testament is the testimony of Jesus not his brothers and sisters.
Matthew 13
53When Jesus had finished these parables, he moved on from there. 54Coming to his hometown, he began teaching the people in their synagogue, and they were amazed. "Where did this man get this wisdom and these miraculous powers?" they asked. 55"Isn't this the carpenter's son? Isn't his mother's name Mary, and aren't his brothers James, Joseph, Simon and Judas? 56Aren't all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all these things?" 57And they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, "Only in his hometown and in his own house is a prophet without honor."

Yes.
Matthew 13:53-56
53 And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence.
54 And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?
55 Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?
56 And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?

Yes, the Bible speaks of Jesus' brothers. Her other children
were a product of her husband Joseph.

NO! Anyone who says differently need to read a few more books! Try Volumes 1-5 of maria valtorta`s Poem of the Man-God.

Mary never had any children other than Jesus.
Those who claim that she did base their false claims on a deliberate misreading of scripture.
