Sir Thomas Montague Morrison Wilde, 3rd Baron Truro (11 March 1856 – 8 March 1899) was an English first-class cricketer and barrister.
The son of Thomas Montague Carrington Wilde, he was born at Manchester in March 1856. He was educated at Harrow School,[1] before going up to Trinity College, Cambridge.[2] A student of the Inner Temple, he graduated from Cambridge with a Bachelor of Laws in 1878 and was called to the bar to practice as a barrister in July of the same year.[3] He played first-class cricket for the Marylebone Cricket Club from 1881–83, making four appearances.[4] Wilde scored 117 runs in his four matches, with a high score of 37.[5]
He succeeded his uncle, Sir Charles Wilde, as the 3rd Baron Truro upon his death in March 1891.[6] The barony became extinct upon Wilde's death at Menton in France in March 1899.[7]
