You have their name & shop type - have you looked in a trade directory ca 1900?

What is their address in 1901 & 1911?

One of the children's birth certificates will give you both parent's names.
One if the children's marriage certificates will give you their father's name and occupation.
They should appear in the 1901 and 1911 censuses. If you are lucky, they may live above the shop.

Do you know for sure it was just a chocolate shop or are you surmising from this picture? Maybe it was a confectioners/grocers that sold chocolate as well & maybe got paid to have the advertising in the window?

Were these Griffiths related to your 4xgrandfather  Thomas Owen Griffiths of Montgomeryshire?
