Arthur George Jenkins (7 February 1887 – 19 May 1963) was the first South Australian to umpire a cricket Test match. ==Early life== Jenkins was born at Woodville, South Australia on 7 February 1887.〔Birth Certificate No. 165 of 1887, Port Adelaide〕 He was the son of a butcher, William Jenkins, who died of tuberculosis in 1895, and Jemima “Mina” Patten. William came from Yealmpton, Devon, England and arrived in Australia on 28 April 1858 on the "Storm Cloud".〔(The Ships List ) (1858) ''"Storm Cloud"''. Retrieved 19 April 2015.〕 Mina was born at Port Noarlunga, South Australia, on 26 May 1861. Her parents had traveled to Australia from Armagh, Northern Ireland aboard the "Admiral Boxer"〔(The Ships List ) (1855) ''"Admiral Boxer"''. Retrieved 19 April 2015.〕 on 21 August 1855. Arthur Jenkins had a sister, Eleanor May (b. 1883), and three brothers, Frederick Charles (1889-91), Stanley Robert (b. 1893), and William Roy (b. 1892). When the father died, the three surviving boys were farmed out to people who would take them. For Arthur, that proved to be an unpleasant experience. He married Ethel Nellie Paget on 4 September 1912. They had four children, Ronald Arthur (1913-2003), Eileen Nellie (1914), Lorna Nellie (1916-98), and Joyce Gwenyth (1918-2010). In his youth, Arthur Jenkins worked as an ironworker, but spent the last 33 years of his working life as a storeman. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Arthur G.
