All three above Edwards (surname variously spelled Pierce, Peirce and Pearce) are born between about 1792 and 1801.
My family were yeomen/labourers, so they might put a son to a trade, but boat builder seems far fetched: I would think you would need capital to start you off in such a business.

You could be right, Mary. Somewhere I have seen a carpenter, just not sure where!

I appear to have DNA connections with a Henry Pierce, who usually says he was born in Shipley, 1821-1824, son of Edward, was a railway porter and moved to Portsmouth.
Both Edwards had sons Henry: Brighton Edward's son was bp 1821, West Grinstead, mother Mary Shipley Edward's son was bp 1824, Shipley, mother Ann. As Brighton Edward dies before 1851, I do not know where or when he was born, but his widow gives West Grinstead as birthplace in 1851. Shipley Edward gives West Grinstead as birthplace in c 1800. He may well be the brother of Joseph Pierce, also born abt the same time in West Grinstead. Family Search does not cover this period, so I don't know who is parents were. I have a spare Edward Pierce! He is bp Cowfold 6 Jan 1793, son of Thomas Pierce and (hopefully) Mary Ashfold. It seems reasonable that he should move in search of better conditions to Brighton, but I'm not entirely convinced that he would become a baker/victualler.

So *deep breath*
Who were the parents of Edward and Joseph Pierce, born West Grinstead c 1800? When Henry Pierce married Louisa Hill 13 Jun 1848 Broadwater, Sussex, England, was his father Edward a baker or a labourer?

Doesn't it give his father's occupation on his marriage certificate?

I found two Edward Pierce baptisms in Sussex 1805 and 1810.
1805 has James and Sarah as parents 1810 has Henry and Catherine. I hope it was Sussex you wanted.

There is another Edward Pierce in 1794 to add to your 1793 fellow. Cannot find a Joseph though between 1790 and 1810
