Stephen Langmead Taylor-Taswell was the only son of the Reverend Stephen Taswell Taylor Taswell, Rector of Witherby, Leicestershire, and was at Westminster from 1893 to 1896. On leaving he went up to Christ Church, Oxford, and, after taking his degree, was appointed in 1902 to the South African Civil Service. He served for a time in the Postmaster-General’s Department where he was private secretary to Sir Somerset French, and was later transferred to the Lands Department in Pretoria. During the War he served in German East Africa with the South African Forces.
He took an active interest in lawn tennis and was a member of the South African Lawn Tennis Council, where he did much for the advancement of the game. He was also a keen fisherman, and included in his catches a huge skate, weighing 188 lbs., which he landed after a fight of 63 minutes. He married, in 1908, Helen Gertrude Louis, elder daughter of William Valencie Simkins, of Cape Town.
