If you know when William was born you may be able to find a census which lists his father. I note that there are some marriages listed for the name Timmins on freereg at St Thomas, not Williams sadly. In the 10 years prior to 1874 I noted two marriages of females with the father William, but one was a Sweeper, the other Labourer.

father William was a Miner,

I would want to see a copy of the marriage to see if the details match up.  Residence at time of marriage for instance can help as well as fathers occupation and witnesses. 

Which census year do you have?
