The simplest solution is to create a master document that includes all other
documents.
Another solution, but this requires manual work, is to add
\setcounter{page}{50}
at the beginning of chapter 2, where 50 is the desired page number
(and you need to change this manually every time the number of pages
in chapter 1 changes!).

You need to select fancy pagestyle for all the files.
