SOUTHERN family Forest of Dean (General)

I am descended from a Bertha Jenkins born about 1870, daughter of Enos Jenkins, a collier, born East Dean. She married a Tom or Thomas Southern, a collier but later a railway servant, who was born in English Bicknor about 1876. It is the ancestors of Tom that I am trying to verify but I welcome any information about Bertha's family - she had brothers Enos and Isaac and a sister Rhoda. There was also an 11 year old Arthur Jenkins on the 1901 census who was a visitor to the same FoD household [the Birts] as Bertha and her husband Tom Southern. Can one establish a relationship between Bertha and Arthur?
