Wilde was the eldest son of William Wilde, vintner of Bread Street, London. He was a student of Clifford's Inn and of Inner Temple in 1630. In 1637 he was called to the bar.〔 He was recorder of London in 1659.〔(Alexander Chalmers (ed) ''The General biographical dictionary: Volume 32'' )〕 On 27 Mar 1660 he was elected Member of Parliament for the City of London in the Convention Parliament.〔(History of Parliament Online - Wilde, William )〕 On 13 Sep 1660, Wilde was created a baronet. He was appointed King's Serjeant on 10 November 1661. He was made one of the judges of the court of common pleas in 1668 and advanced to become a justice of the King's Bench on 21 January 1672.
