Have you searched this site's Parish Records database for CUMPERs ?

It includes 106 records, ALL are within the Chepstow area. I can find these baptisms of Christopher John and his siblings;

========================================

This site's PRs don't appear to have Charles & Louisa's Marriage, but here's another Charles who us presumably related in some way, it looks like he MAY be the seafaring Charles mentioned in the old newspapers, altho beware this is probably a common family name;

Charles was probably a very knowledgable and skilled sailer, to be a pilot on the Severn which is often a treacherous stretch if water with it's huge tidal range etc. Beachey is the site of the old Severn Bridge. This may be him in his retirement running the Lord Nelson Inn in Chepstow.
