Mary - Bible vs Koran

In the Quran, Mary, the mother of Jesus, was the sister of Aaron and daughter of Amram.
Then she brought him to her people, carrying him. They said, "O Mary, you have certainly done a thing unprecedented. O sister of Aaron, your father was not a man of evil, nor was your mother unchaste." (19:27-28 Sahih International)
And [the example of] Mary, the daughter of 'Imran, who guarded her chastity, so We blew into [her garment] through Our angel, and she believed in the words of her Lord and His scriptures and was of the devoutly obedient. (66:12 Sahih International)

In the Bible, Mary's siblings and parents were not explicitly mentioned, though some believed Luke's genealogy was Mary's. However, there is another Mary (or Miriam), who was the sister of Aaron and daughter of Amram.
Jesus, when he began his ministry, was about thirty years of age, being the son (as was supposed) of Joseph, the son of Heli, (Luke 3:23 ESV)
The children of Amram: Aaron, Moses, and Miriam. The sons of Aaron: Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. (1 Chronicles 6:3 ESV)
