Abraham was born in 1857. He was the son of Charles and Caroline Abraham.[2] He was educated at Keble College, Oxford.[3] Ordained in 1881, he began his career with a curacy at St Mary's Church, Shrewsbury[4] and was subsequently Vicar of All Saints, Shrewsbury and Christ Church, Lichfield before succeeding Edward Were as the bishop of Derby (suffragan).[5] His father, Charles,[6] and his son, Philip,[7] were also bishops; another son, Geoffrey, was killed in action during the First World War.[8] Another son, Jasper, was notorious for killing a Kenyan servant by flogging in 1923; the light sentence he received provoked a change in the legal system of Kenya Colony.[9]

After Bishop Abraham retired, a cousin bequeathed Little Moreton Hall in Congleton to him.[10] He died on 27 January 1945.
