Catholic tradition seems to favor the view that Mary was an only child. In ancient Palestine (as well as in other countries) the terms brother or sister could refer to any relative - cousins, aunts, uncles, for example. The Mary sometimes referred to as Mary's sister was Mary, the third Mary at the crucifixion and wife of Cleophas. Cleophas was thought to have been the brother of Saint Joseph. That would have made the two Marys sisters in law.
