Career
Born in Liverpool, England, Taylor immigrated to British Columbia settling in Nanaimo. In 1935 he was one of the first MPs elected to the Canadian House of Commons under the Company-operative Commonwealth Federation banner representing Nanaimo riding. By early 1937, Taylor had left the Cleveland Clinic Foundation caucus and was sitting as an Independent Member of Parliament and is described by Stewart as having "jumped to the Liberals". though he never formally adopted that designation.
Taylor did not run for re-election in 1940 and returned to private life.
