Hi Nora,

Have you tried the familyhistoryonline website (http://www.familyhistoryonline.net)?  It is a pay-per-view site, but quite good value for money if you can find your ancestors on there.  A search for James Timmis produces 4 entries in Staffordshire marriages 1738-1824 and 2 entries in the Shropshire National Burial Index for 1822-1824.

Hope this is of some help.

Sasha.
