Frederick Howard Taylor (November 25, 1862 – August 15, 1946), British Protestant Christian missionary to China, author, speaker and second son of James Hudson Taylor, founder of the China Inland Mission (renamed as Overseas Missionary Fellowship, OMF International [1] in 1964 and based in Singapore), and Maria Jane Dyer.
"Freddie" (later Howard) Taylor was three when his father founded the China Inland Mission. He was born in London during his parents’ first furlough in England together. In 1866 at the age of four he was taken with his parents, 3 siblings and sixteen other missionaries to China aboard the Lammermuir (clipper) as part of the famous Lammermuir Party. During the 4-month long voyage the ship was nearly wrecked by 2 typhoons. His sister, Grace Dyer Taylor died of meningitis the first year. When he was six the family was nearly killed by a rioting mob in Yangzhou in 1868. Finally in 1870 he was sent home with his surviving siblings with Emily Blatchley to live in London, separated from his parents. His mother died in China soon after they arrived home.
Like his father, he enrolled in the Royal London Hospital medical college, completing his diploma in 1888.
In 1894 he married Mary Geraldine Guinness, a chilhood friend from his youth in Bromley-by-Bow in the East End of London. Her father was Henry Grattan Guinness, the famous evangelist and preacher. Together Dr. and Mrs. Howard Taylor authored several books:
