Desmond notes a F S Bennett - fl. 1860's - 1890's. Based In Farnworth. Searching the census returns indicates that a possible candidate is Fanny Smallman Hancock, who married Irwin Arthur Bennett, in September 1879. They lived in Chorlton on Medlock, then Great Lever, Manchester and then Manchester Road, Bolton in 1901. He seems to have been a bank manager. She was born in Cheshire.

http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/304532/ gives some (second-hand) info. She has early specimens from leading Scottish collectors, and later ones from Cheshire.
