Angeblich ein Schüler von V. Panormo. Es kommen gutklingende Violen und Violinen von ihm vor, am besten aber sind seine Bässe. Er wohnte Princess Street, Drury Lane und war als sorgfältiger Wiederhersteller alter Geigen sehr geschätzt. Ein James Taylor eröffnete 1867 in Aberdeen ein Geigengeschäft.
