James Patrick TAYLOR; known as Jimmy to friends and family, was only 12 years of age when he vanished without a trace after leaving his home in Derby to attend a nearby shop.
 
James was born on the 1st of November, 1961 and lived with his father at 126 Knowsley Street, Derby. He was mature for his age and was helpful and responsible; so much so he was entrusted to do the family’s grocery shopping.
On the 29th of August, 1974 James left his home to buy a soft drink from the nearby Lwoys store. He failed to return home but this did not raise any immediate alarm bells with his family as they assumed he had followed through on a request he made earlier to attend Myroodah Cattle Station with a friend.
Upon realisation that James wasn’t at the cattle station, his family lodged a missing persons report with Police on the 16th of September, 1974. He has not been seen or heard of since.
To this day, James’ family are still haunted by his sudden disappearance in 1974.
