Contrary there are a verses about "brothers", where the word demonstrably is used in a wider sense than we use it today, and each time the borther is named by name, his mother is named also and she is not Mary Our Lady.

Matthew 13:54-56 (King James Version)
54And 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? 55Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? 56And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?

Mark 6:2-4 (King James Version)
2And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands? 3Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him. 4But Jesus, said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.

55Is not this the carpenter's son?

So you agree that the local "rabble" were right, and that Christ is the son of Joseph -- and not the Son of God? OK . . .

Yes, and the mother of James and Joses and Salome is identified in Mark 15:40 s another Mary: “there were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalen, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joseph, and Salome”. You are correct that the list of names differs from account to account, if that is your point.
