The son of the cricketer and barrister Alfred Wilson, he was born in September 1858 at Paddington. He was educated at Winchester College. Wilson made a single appearance in first-class cricket for the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) against Somerset at Lord's in 1882. He batted twice in the match, making 6 runs in the MCC first innings before being dismissed by Charles Winter, while in their second innings he was dismissed for 2 runs by Arnold Fothergill. He also bowled two wicketless overs with his right-arm medium pace bowling. Wilson served as a volunteer in the Queen's Own Royal West Kent Regiment, holding the rank of captain in April 1885. By profession he was a colonial produce broker at Mincing Lane in City of London. He died in February 1917 at Flushing, Cornwall.
