tracing ancestors: Pierce

[LukeJ]

I'm tracing back some of my family tree and have come to a sticky situation with a great great great grandmother's family.
Who is Harriet J Pierce, daughter of Edward and Anne.
According to the 1841 census here the parents are not from the same county.
The father is a customs and excise officer. Only my great grandmother I can find any information. I've searched all the siblings
too but they all seem to vanish after this document.
Any clues would be gratefully appreciated, im trying to find out where the parents came from, and hopefully who their parents were.
i found other Pierces in my tree so it would be funny to find out they were related
thanks in advance
