Derivation of "Tiger" Timms was probably due to the cartoon character originally in a Daily Mirror (1914) strip cartoon, later transferring to one or other of the later children's comics called - Tiger Tim! One of the comics was actually named for Tiger Tim. Character certainly still around in the 1960s, and probably much later. Google "tiger tim comic" for further info.
Thank you for this
