He was a clergyman and religious and temperance writer, was the son of Digby Joseph Stopford Ram, a Church of Ireland clergyman of Brookeville (Co. Cork), and Penelope Wallis of Renny (Co. Cork). He was descended from the Ramsford and Clonattin (Co. Wexford) branches of the Ram family and was a cousin of Revd Richard Sinclair Brooke. He received his education at St John's College, Cambridge, graduating BA in 1849 and MA in 1852. He was ordained in 1849 in Armagh and became minister at Tynan (Co. Armagh, 1849-51), after which he moved to England. He ministered at Elkstone (Staffs.,1841-54); Christ Church, Stratford (Essex, 1854-58); Pavenham (Beds.,1859), and was then vicar of Christ Church, Battersea (London). He was appointed associate secretary for the Irish Church Missions in 1858. His writings reflect the aims of this organization. He was author of The temperance movement, its importance and Christian character (London, 1856), and other tracts. He married in 1849 Eleanor Mary Hawkshaw (d. 1881), with whom he had nine children. The book was published in 1854 under title: Greatness in little things. Additional scans available upon request. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 005760
