Got hooked    on a Frederick Samuel Bennett who married a Jessie Greig 15 November 1871 St Sepulchre, Holborn. The date was almost the same (a year out) as that birth date for Jessie. Not unknown for parents to have a birth and marriage on the same day. Frederick was a minor and a traveller.  Could only find 1 child listed for them in 1872 Frederick John Bennett. Couldn't find any other birth for a Jessie Grieg or Bennett though to fit the couple. 

Following this couple:

Marriage details for Frederick and Jessie:

Marriage Date: 15 Nov 1871
Marriage Place: St Sepulchre, Holborn, City of London, England
Father: Frederick Bennett ---- traveller

Looks like they did have a daughter Jessie:

I can't see a link to the surname Richards/Richardson with this Jessie but it might be worth seeing if you can find a DNA link to anyone connected to this family to rule her out.
