The census states that Charles & Louisa have been married 24 years (yes!), with four children, all still alive. They are living in a house with 8 rooms, to include kit-chen but not include a bathroom, closet, scullery, landing etc. This is therefore quite a large house for the time. It is signed by Charles Cumper, who's handwriting is very neat and clear, but wether this is father or son we don't know.

The FindMyPast site tells me they have the 1939 Register transcription for a Chepstow household of Charles, Caroline Louisa and one other person.
