Another excellent website for old newspapers, and entirely free to use, is the Welsh Newspapers site which has many hits for "Chepstow Cumper", such as;

CHEPSTOW.
PETTY SESSIONS, TUESDAY.
PUBLICAN AND His WIFE. Richard Cumper, a Wye salmon, fisherman and landlord of the Lord Nelson Inn, Chepstow, was summoned by his wife, Annie Jane Fussell Cumper, for persistent cruelty, and she also prayed for a judicial separation. The Bench granted a separation, with the custody of the three children, to the wife, and ordered defendant to pay £I a week maintenance, and the costs £1 19s 6d.

Sad Death of a Young Woman.
Mr F. Evans, coroner, held an inquest at Chepstow on Saturday evening concerning the death of Annie Jane Hussel Cumper (28), wife of Richard Cumper, a plater, living at Myrtle Cottages. When Cumper went home on Thursday his wife complained of pain, and said she had strained herself lifting a bucket, or bath. The post-mortem showed that deceased was enceinte, and died from internal hemorrhage due to rupture of a blood vessel.
