Hi there  :), I have Jenkins from Warrnambool but cannot see any connection to your families.
My Grandma (living) grew up in Warrnambool and her Dad's Jenkins line goes all the way back to Nehemiah Jenkins (1833-1896) and he is buried at Warrnambool Cemetery. Nehemiah was from Goathurst, Somerset, England.  :)

Hi, I see your post was some time ago but I'm curious whether you know if the Margaret Stewart  b 1818 Stirling married Neil Charles McKinnon ?
Below is quoted from Daryl Povey's page on early settlers of Victoria's South West.
"Neil Charles McKINNON c1815-1875 & Margaret STUART c.1818-1878
Scotland, Tasmania, Digby & Dartmoor, Victoria; Penola, South Australia

Neil Charles McKINNON b. c. 1815, Isle of Skye, Inverness-shire, Scotland, son of ____ and ____ was married in 1838, Greenock, Scotland to Margaret STUART b. c.1818, Stirlingshire, Scotland, daughter of ____ and ____.

Neil & Margaret McKINNON were in Tasmania in the 1840s where some children were born prior to moving to "Merino Downs" and Hotspur in south-western Victoria where more children were born. Later they appear to have moved to south-east South Australia.

Neil Mckinnon died at Penola, South Australia in 1875 and his wife Margaret also died at Penola in 1878. "

Any light you could possibly share on Margaret Stewart and the family discussed would help me confirm or rule them out as ancestors in our tree. Thankyou! Kind regards, Mel  :)
