You won't find it in the Bible, but it's traditionally believed that Joseph was a widower and that Mary was his second wife. Traditionally it's believed that Joseph was much older than Mary. She's believed to have been a teenage girl - 14 or 15, as that was the customary age of her day.

No.He was esposed to Mary at the start of their journey to thier hometown to regester for the ordered Roman census. Joseph almost put her aside when he found she was with child. But an Angle told him not to.
Matthew 1:18-25, Luke 1-2

Greeting CJuck,
Set aside who was Mary and Joseph, and take into consideration the culture. It won't happen. Mary was a very young girl, and if it was true that he was married, they wouldn't let him marry such a young girl. He probably would marry a woman who was married before, and or closer to his age. It also couldn't be for political or financial reason, because at times girls were given to marriage for that reason, since he was he simple man just as she was.
I highly doubt it.
Thank you, and peace to you as well.

seek for the notice sibling.that's not what you're relating,which may be offspring.And none of it has historic or Biblical weight.does not remember what theories sprout up or the place they originate in the event that they have no backing in historic previous or God's notice.There merely are too many heresies accessible to spend too plenty time on.never heard that one or i could provide you dates and communities to learn on your guy or woman.i be responsive to the heresy concerning Mary,yet never heard of something relating Joseph.p.s.His siblings are Mary and Joseph's little ones after the virgin delivery of Jesus.it is Biblical and historic certainty.

that is not true. Joseph (Jesus stepfather) was never married to anyone but Jesus's mother Mary. also Mary was not a child when she gave birth to Jesus, she was an adult.

It is not in the Bible, but in other early Christian writings, and is a tradition of the Eastern Orthodox.

And some believe there are aliens living among us. There is no accounting for what people will believe.

There are many more texts from that time period that didn't end up being included in the Bible.
I wish I could tell you exactly where that tradition originated, but I'm afraid I don't know. :/
