He was the only surviving son of Sir Robert Abdy, 3rd Baronet and his wife Theodosia Bramstone, only daughter of George Bramstone.^[2] Abdy was called to the Bar by the Middle Temple in 1731 and was educated at Trinity College, Oxford, where he matriculated in 1732.^[3] He succeeded his father as baronet in 1748, in which year he entered the British House of Commons, sitting as a Tory Member of Parliament (MP) for Essex until his death in 1759.^[4] From his father he inherited his country house of Albyns in Essex. He also owned a town house at Lincoln's Inn Fields in London.

Abdy died unmarried in 1759 and was buried in Stapleford Abbotts in Essex.^[5] On his death the baronetcy became extinct.^[2] His estates, including Albyns, were eventually inherited by his third cousin Sir Anthony Abdy, 5th Baronet.^[3]
