We know nothing about either when or where Mary and Jospeh were born, nor when or where they died. Therefore, we do not know how old they were when they died. It is only assumed that Joseph died before the mission of Jesus began, because he is not mentioned in the gospel accounts.

Where did Mary and Joseph lived before Jesus was born?

AnswerIt is very unclear where Mary and Joseph lived before Jesus was born. The only sources we have on this are the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, which appear to be in mutual disagreement.Luke's Gospel makes it clear that, in the author's view, Mary and Joseph lived in Nazareth but travelled to Bethlehem where Jesus was born in a stable, there being no room in the inn. The young couple soon afterwards took Jesus to Jerusalem and then returned peacefully to Nazareth. There are some historical problems with this account, that make it seem doubtful.Matthew's Gospel seems to say that Mary and Joseph lived in a house in Bethlehem before Jesus was born. Afterr the visit by the magi, they fled to Egypt and remained there until the death of King Herod. They then returned to Judea, implying that this was indeed their home but, being warned by God in a dream, turned aside and travelled to Galilee, where they then dwelt in a city called Nazareth. From this, it seems at least unlikely that the young couple lived in Nazareth.We do not know where Mary and Joseph lived before Jesus was born.

Was Joseph leader in Egypt also the husband of Mary the mother of Jesus?

No, they would have lived in entirely different periods, centuries apart. However the author of Matthew's Gospel drew clear parallels between them, even assigning the name Jacob to the father of Joseph, husband of Mary, in line with the Old Testament Joseph (Joseph's father was called Heli in Luke's Gospel). These parallels are no doubt the cause of some confusion in modern times.
