The essay does make a great case for Joseph having children who were his by another wife, who perhaps died in childbirth prior to Joseph’s betrothal with Mary. Then by that logic why are not Joseph "earlier" children from a first marriage traveling with there Father and Stepmother "Joseph & Mary" at Jesus birth?...

Other than the difficulties of traveling with a very pregnant woman so no attention for a bunch of rowdy kids along to the census accessor, I have no idea. The same quandry would apply for the story of Jesus at 12 getting left behind at the Temple ... no other children are mentioned in that story either.
