Trying to find Holland

I am trying to find any relatives of Joseph Holland and Clara Maria Jackson, who emigrated to Canada in about 1912 with their six children, Elsie, Herbert, Jessie (and her twin who died), Mabel and Donald (my father). Joseph Holland was born in February, 1871 in Park Place, Tamworth Castle, Staffs. Clara Maria Jackson, his wife, was born in Tamworth, Staffs, in March, 1873. Donald was born in 1910 in Tamworth. I was born Sandra Carolyn Holland in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, in 1940. I have been told that there are family branches in both Coventry and Tamworth. I know there were members of the family from Coventry (cousins, perhaps?) who visited Winnipeg in Canada in the early 1950's and came to our house there. There are also branches of this family in Los Angeles and the American state of Oregon. I am presently living in England.
