John Gouldstone

John Gouldstone (aka Goldstone or Goldswain) was an Essex and All-England cricketer of the late 18th century. Details of Gouldstone, including his first name, have not been found in extant records. He was a member of Hornchurch Cricket Club which was the leading Essex club at the time.[1]

He is known to have sometimes used the pseudonym of Goldswain and this appears in some scorecards.[2]

Gouldstone made 15 known first-class appearances between 1785 and 1793.[3]
