From Ian Pope's truly excellent Lightmoor FoD Coalmining site, I presume this is the same Samuel, within the detailed history of the Bailey Hill Level:

"1 August 1887 Agreement Roger Whittle, Yorkley Hill, colliery proprietor and Samuel Jenkins of Bream. Whittle agrees to let Bailey Hill Colliery, upon which he holds a lease, to Samuel Jenkins. Jenkins to have free use of machinery and plant. To pay £30 per year.

28 April 1897 Samuel Jenkins died."
