This may not be the right person.......and the record is 'submitted', so needs to be treated with caution............

GEO GORST
Spouse: MARY ROWLINSON
Marriage: 03 FEB 1800 Northwich, Cheshire, England

You might find the birth record at the Cheshire Records office...the IGI only has a fraction of what there is.

If it were me I think I would look at all the male Gorsts in Chesthire in 1841 census, born 1775 +_10 and see if anyone was a blacksmith. Such a trade was usually handed down.
Then I would look at any trade directories I could find ..
Good Luck
