We do not know the name of Joseph's mother. His father was called Jacob (Matthew's Gospel) or Heli (Luke's Gospel).
In Luke's Gospel, Mary and Joseph lived in Nazareth. The Gospel does not say so, but it is always assumed that they had a house in Nazareth. In Matthew's Gospel, Mary and Joseph appear to have lived in Bethlehem. The house in which the magi found Jesus was no doubt their home.
