The 51 census on Ancestry has a Ruth Oxton but the original could be Oxley. She's a sister-in-law of John W. Smith, M.R.C.S. of England. She's a widow age 58, a gentlewoman born West Indies.
Address is 8 Finsbury Place, St. Stephens, Coleman St., London.
After a second look I'm sure it's Oxley.

Researching:
Great grandmother Dorothy Bean nee Abbott (1858-1908)

I think Margaret is right - on ancestry its indexed as OXTON but the image looks like OXLEY, with a little tail at the end.

Good work Margaret, I am a bit slow today
