Any mistakes?

I have just written a paragraph talking about my family, trying to include as much of the vocabulary I have recently learnt as possible. I don't have access to my tutor today so I was wondering if any Spanish speakers could tell me if I've made any mistakes.

I've only been studying Spanish for four weeks so far so I am expecting a lot of lovely mistakes to learn from!

Tengo una familia muy grande - tres hermanos pequeños y una hermana pequeña. Se llaman Harvey, Jude, Gabriel y Grace. Mis padres llamen Wendy y Christopher.
Mi madre tiene un hermano pero no hermana. Su hermano se llama Patrick y el tiene tres hijos: una niña y dos niños. Mi padre tiene dos hermanos y una hermana. Se llaman Jim, Mike y Rachel. Mi tía Rachel tiene una hija y un hijo: Florence and Benjamin. Mike y su esposa, Alice, tienen un hijo que se llama Wesley.
Tengo dos abuelos y dos abuelas. Se llaman Christine, Hedley, Pat y Graham. Tengo una bisabuela. Ella es la madre de Christine, mi abuela.


Thanks in advance!

Mi madre tiene un hermano pero no (You can't use "no" in Spanish for "none". Try rewording with the feminine form of "ninguno") hermana. Su hermano se llama Patrick y el (spelling) tiene tres hijos: una niña y dos niños. Mi padre tiene dos hermanos y una hermana. Se llaman Jim, Mike y Rachel. Mi tía Rachel tiene una hija y un hijo: Florence and (and?) Benjamin. Mike y su esposa, Alice, tienen un hijo que se llama Wesley.
Tengo dos abuelos y dos abuelas. Se llaman Christine, Hedley, Pat y Graham. Tengo una bisabuela. Ella es la madre de Christine, mi abuela.
